A. Flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood from the patient demonstrating low percentage of regulatory T cells (normal values, FoxP3+ of CD4+: 4–8%). The populations of CD4/8, naive, and memory T cells were normal. B. Flow cytometric analysis of IL-17A and IFN-γ secretion by peripheral CD4+ cells stimulated with phorbol myristate acetate/ionomycin for 4 h prior to intracellular staining (normal values, IL-17+ of CD4+: 6–22%). C. Sanger DNA sequencing chromatogram of the mutated STAT1 gene. Protein-coding exons and their intronic boundaries of 45 genes, including STAT1, were sequenced as PCR products on an ABI 3130/3730 capillary sequencer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and/or a MiSeq next-generation sequencer (Illumina). IL: interleukin; IFN: interferon.
