From: The role of interleukin 17 in Crohn’s disease-associated intestinal fibrosis
In vivo expression of interleukin (IL)-17A and IL-17E receptors. (A) IL-17RC (receptor of IL-17A), and (B) IL-17RB (receptor of IL-17E) were detected by immunoblotting in uninflamed areas of strictured (Strict uninfl) and non-strictured (Non-strict uninfl) gut of 12 patients with fibrostenosing Crohn’s disease (CD) and from normal gut of 11 healthy control (HC)subjects. Each example shown in the left panels is representative of experiments performed in all patients with CD and all HC subjects. Blots were stripped and analyzed for β-actin as an internal loading control. In the right panels, densitometry of IL-17RC and IL-17RB expression normalized for β-actin is shown. Results are mean ± SEM. au, Arbitrary units.
