2. Figure 1
CD146+ T cells are significantly elevated in patients with psoriasis in the circulation and at the site of inflammation. Comparative frequencies (mean±SEM) of (a) CD3+CD146+ T cells, (b) CD3+CD4+CD146+ T cells, and (c) CD3+CD8+CD146+ T cells. (d) Immunofluorescence staining of a frozen section from a lesion biopsy stained with CD146 and CD3. The lesion stained with both antibodies demonstrated the marked infiltration of T cells expressing CD146, confirming the flow cytometric results.

3. Figure 2
Production of IL-17A by CD146+ T cells in psoriasis. (a) Percentages of IL-17A-producing T cells, which are CD146 positive. The T cells and T cell subsets secreting IL-17A were gated first and then the proportion of these cells expressing CD146 was determined. (b) Gene expression data illustrating IL-17A, RoRC2, and CD146 mRNA in CD146+ and CD146- T cells from psoriatic lesions and peripheral blood.
