Figure 4.
PCR analysis reveals a significantly suppressed FOXP3 expression in the colon and spleen [but not mesenteric lymph nodes or thymus] of IL-6−/−/10−/− mice compared to that in IL-10−/− mice. [A] PCR products. [B] Qualitative analyses of selected genes (only genes whose expression was significantly altered [marked by arrows] are shown). Double arrows indicate the size-shifts [two different sizes] of the PCR products of RORγt in IL-6−/−/10−/− mice, compared to the single-sized band in IL-10−/− mice. [C] Expression of several major cytokines. Representative data from at least 4–6 mice per group [3 months old] are shown. *p < 10–4.
