Fig. 1From: Long-term changes of Th17 and regulatory T cells in peripheral blood of dogs with spinal cord injury after intervertebral disc herniationIllustration of a Treg and a Th17 cell analysis using flow cytometryResults of Treg and Th17 cell analysis of a dog after recovery of spinal cord injury using MACSQuant analysis softwareIn the prior performed isotype controls, limits were set at approx. 2% of the cells [32, 34,35,36]. This limit was transferred to the test fractions (pink lines) in each case to detect the percentages of FOXP3 (a) or IL17 (b) positive cells, which are located to the right of the pink lineAbsolute cell numbers were subsequently calculated to make the analyses comparablea) The graphic displays the percentage of FOXP3 positive cells for detection of Treg cells. 9.56% FOXP3 positive cells were identifiedb) The graphic displays the percentage of IL17 positive cells for detection of Th17. 16.20% IL17 positive cells were identified. The results of a stimulated Th17 cell fraction are shownBack to article page
