Distinct chemokine receptor profile of CD4+CD161+RholoT cells. (A) Histogram comparing the MFI of CCR7 among CD4+CD161+Rholo (red), CD4+CD161+Rhohi (blue), and CD4+CD161− (green) T cells. (B) Representative FACS plots depicting the chemokine receptor profile, including CCR6, CCR5 and CXCR7 expression, on CD4+CD161+Rholo (left), CD4+CD161+Rhohi (middle), and CD4+CD161− (right) T cells; cumulative results from 5 independent experiments are shown in C. Each dot represents 1 individual. (D) Representative FACS plot depicting expression of CCR6, CCR4, and CXCR3 on CD4+CD161+Rholo (lower left) and CD4+CD161+Rhohi (lower right) T cells. (E) FACS-purified CD161+Rholo (top), CD161+Rhohi (middle), and CD161− (bottom) CD4+ T cells were stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate/ionomycin in the presence of brefeldin A for 6 hours. Indicated cytokines were analyzed by intracellular staining. (F) Dot plots comparing cytokine production among T-cell subsets with a low-, high-, or no-efflux capacity. **P < .01; ***P < .001; ****P < .0001.
