Differentiation of CD4+ T cells was performed according to our previous study17 (link). In brief, splenic naïve CD4+ T cells were sorted from the indicated mice (8 to 12 weeks of age) by an EasySep™ mouse naïve CD4+ T cell isolation kit (STEMCELL Technologies, 19765). Th17, Th1 and Th2 polarizations were then conducted following the instructions of the CellXVivo mouse Th17 cell differentiation kit (R&D Systems, CDK017), the CellXVivo mouse Th1 cell differentiation kit (R&D Systems, CDK018) and the CellXVivo mouse Th2 cell differentiation kit (R&D Systems, CDK019), respectively.
