Fig 1 ET promotes TH17 cell polarization through its cAMP-increasing activity. A, Quantification of IL-17, IL-21, IL-22, and relative mRNA levels of retinoic acid receptor–related orphan receptor γ (RORγ), IL-23 receptor, IL-1β receptor (A), IL-4 (B), or IFN-γ (C) in T cells (2-4 donors, duplicate samples) primed in the presence or absence of ET/EL1 or CyaA/CyaA-E5 and restimulated with anti-CD3 mAb for 24 hours.
