IL-9R is widely expressed by human monocytes in the blood. IL-9R expression by monocytes and lymphocytes within peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of healthy donors was analyzed by flow cytometry. Plots from a representative experiment are shown (a). Graph represents the frequency of monocyte and lymphocyte IL-9R+ cells, gated on PBMC (b). IL-9R expression was analyzed by western blot on sorted monocytes and lymphocytes. Results from a representative donor and cumulative data of 3 donors are reported (c). IL-9R expression analyzed by western blot on sorted monocytes from MS patients and healthy donors. Results from three representative donors of each group and cumulative data are reported (d). IL-9R expression on classical (CD14++CD16−), intermediate (CD14++CD16+) and nonclassical (CD14dimCD16++) monocytes gated on CD3- CD19- CD56- CD11c+ CD4+ cells was analyzed by flow cytometry. Plots from a representative experiment and cumulative graph representing the frequency of monocyte subpopulation IL-9R+ cells (e). IL-9R expression was analyzed by western blot on sorted classical and nonclassical monocytes. Results from a representative donor and cumulative data of 4 donors are reported (f). Mean ± SEM is shown for each group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001,****p < 0.0001 by paired Student’s t test (b, c, d, f) or by analysis of variance (e)
