From: T-helper 17 cell cytokines and interferon type I: partners in crime in systemic lupus erythematosus?
SLE patients with IFN type I signature show higher percentages of IL-17A and IL-17A/IL-17 F producing CCR6+cells. (A- D). Proportions of IL-17A (A), IL-17 F (B), IL-22 (C), and IL-21 (D) expressing cells within CCR6+ memory T-cell population in PBMCs of IFN- (n = 9) and IFN+ (n = 16) patients and HC (n = 15). All proportions were measured by intracellular flow cytometry. Horizontal line indicates median. *P < 0,05; **P < 0,01; to compare means, a Kruskal-Wallis test was used followed by Mann–Whitney U test.
