Figure 3. The effect of cyclosporin A on the percentages of interleukin-17-producing and interferon-γ-producing T cells from patients with Behcet’s disease and normal controls in vitro. Isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (1×106 cells/ml) were stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate,13-acetate/ionomycin for 6 h in the absence or presence of CsA (50 ng/ml). The percentage of both IL-17-producing and IFN-γ-producing CD4+ or CD8+ T cells was significantly higher in BD patients than in normal controls and was significantly reduced in the presence of CsA. Data are expressed as means±SD.
