3 Fig 2 Western blot of PBMC lysates from healthy control subjects (HC) and our patient with CMC (CMC pt). Cells were left unstimulated or stimulated with IFN-α (1 × 103 IU/mL) for 30 minutes in the presence or absence of ruxolitinib at 1 μmol/L. GAPDH, Glyceraldehgyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; pSTAT1, phosphorylated STAT1; pSTAT3, phosphorylated STAT3.

4 Fig E1 PBMCs from healthy control subjects (n = 4) and a patient with CMC and a STAT1 GOF mutation were stimulated with live Candida albicans (1:15,000) or PHA (2 mg/mL) or left unstimulated in the presence or absence of 1 μmol/L ruxolitinib for 5 days in RPMI 10% FCS and 2.5 μg/mL amphotericin. IL-17A and IL-22 levels were assessed by using ELISA. Bg, Background.

5 Fig E2 Flow cytometric trace of phosphorylated STAT1 (pSTAT1) gated on CD3+ lymphocytes. Whole blood from a patient with CMC was stimulated with IFN-γ (1 × 103 IU/mL) for 15 minutes with and without ruxolitinib (Rx) or left unstimulated and then stained with antibodies to CD3–Pacific Blue and pSTAT1–Alexa Fluor 647 antibody by using the BD Biosciences Phosphlow kit.
