Why Expand Th17 Cells Ex Vivo?
T helper type 17 (Th17) cells are a subset of CD4+ effector T cells that promote cell-mediated immune responses against extracellular bacteria and fungi. Differentiation into the Th17 lineage is promoted by cytokines such as TGF-beta and IL-6, while their survival and expansion are dependent on IL-21 and IL-23. Th17 cells secrete TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-9, IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-21, and IL-22. Th17 polarized cells are present in low abundance in normal mouse spleen and peripheral blood. In vitro differentiation of mouse Th17 cells from the larger naïve CD4+ T cell population provides increased numbers of Th17 cells to facilitate downstream research.
This kit contains the following reagents for the ex vivo differentiation of mouse Th17 cells.
- Hamster Anti-Mouse CD3
- Rat Anti-Mouse CD28
- Mouse Th17 Reagent 1
- Mouse Th17 Reagent 2
- Mouse Th17 Reagent 3
- Mouse Th17 Reagent 4
- Mouse Th17 Reagent 5
- Reconstitution Buffer 1
- Reconstitution Buffer 2
- Reconstitution Buffer 3
- 20X Wash Buffer
The quantity of the components in the kit is sufficient to differentiate approximately 50x106 naïve CD4+ T cells, and generate ~200 x 106 cells, of which >40% are Th17 polarized cells within your starting CD4+ T cell population.
Note: Results may vary due to strain age and/or the health of the mice used for isolation.

Differentiated Mouse CD4+ Cells Secrete IL-17. Mouse T cells were differentiated for 5 days under Th17 polarization conditions using reagents included in this kit. On day 5, cell culture supernatant was collected and cytokine secretion was determined using the Mouse IL-17 Quantikine®ELISA Kit, the Mouse IFN-γ Quantikine®ELISA Kit, and the Mouse IL-4 Quantikine®ELISA Kit.

Intracellular Cytokine Staining of Differentiated Mouse Th17 Cells. Flow cytometry data showing mouse naïve CD4+T cells without (A, C) and with (B, D) a 5 day differentiation using reagents included in this kit. On day 5 of differentiation, the cells were stimulated with Cell Activation Cocktail (Tocris®, Catalog # 5476) and stained with Mouse IL-17, Mouse IFN-gamma, and Mouse IL-4 Monoclonal Antibodies. Quadrants were set based on isotype-stained samples.

FAQs
-
How long are the cytokines stable after they are diluted in the Mouse Th17 Differentiation Media, in Catalog # CDK017? Can I prepare the Differentiation Media with cytokines on day 1 of the protocol, and use the same media on day 3, or do I need to add freshly diluted cytokines at each refresh step?
We have not performed any stability testing to detemine how long diluted cytokines are stable in media without any activity loss. However, during the development of the CDK017 kit, we prepared complete Mouse Th17 Differentiation Media with cytokines added on day 1 and used it until the end of the experiment (refreshing media on day 3 and harvesting on day 5). Cytokines are most stable in medias containing 5-10% serum. We recommend X-VIVO 15 Chemically Defined, Serum-free Hematopoietic Cell Medium (Lonza, or equivalent), which contains HSA that will help stabilize the cytokines for shorter periods.
-
Can I sterile filter the Mouse Th17 Differentiation Media in Catalog # CDK017 after the addition of the cytokines?
Yes, the complete media may be filtered after addition of cytokines. A 0.2 micron low protein binding sterile filter may be used.
