All P/i stimulated BALC lymphocytes’ cytokine expressions were similar between the groups (Figure 3D) but CD4+IL-17+ cell subsets within the CD4+ BALC were also increased in MEA compared with HE (p=0.036), and the CD4+IL-4+ and CD4+IFN-γ+ cell subsets were similar between the groups (Figures 3E, F). The gene discussed is IL4; the disease is hereditary elliptocytosis.
