2 Fig 1 IL-33 promotes development of 2 distinct subsets of IL-4–competent CD4+ T cells. A, Schematic representation of a mouse airway sensitization model. Naive 4get mice (BALB/c background) were exposed intranasally to OVA with or without IL-1β or IL-33. B, On day 14, plasma was analyzed for anti-OVA antibodies (Ab) by means of ELISA. *P < .05 and **P < .01 compared with mice exposed to OVA alone. #P < .05 compared with mice exposed to OVA plus IL-33. Data are presented as means ± SEMs (n = 4-5 in each group). C, Day 11 mLN cells were cultured with or without OVA. Cytokine levels in supernatants were analyzed by mean of ELISA. #P < .05 compared with OVA plus IL-33. Data are presented as means ± SEMs (n = 4-5 in each group). D-G, Day 11 mLN cells were gated on lymphocytes, and expression of CD4, IL-4eGFP, ST2, and CXCR5 was analyzed by means of FACS. Fig 1, D, Representative scattergrams showing expression of CD4 and IL-4eGFP in a total lymphocyte population and expression of ST2 and CXCR5 in CD4+IL-4eGFP+ lymphocytes. Fig 1, E, Numbers of each cell population are presented as means ± SEMs (n = 4 in each group). *P < .05 between the groups indicated by horizontal lines. Fig 1, F, Naive 4get mice were exposed intranasally to OVA with different doses of IL-33, as described in Fig 1, A, and day 11 mLN cells were analyzed. Fig 1, G, Numbers and ratios of each cell population are presented as means ± SEMs (n = 4 in each group). **P < .01 between groups indicated by horizontal lines or compared with 1 ng of IL-33. In Fig 1, C, E, and G, data are a pool of 2 separate experiments.
