Association between the frequency of Tim-3+ T cells and T-bet mRNA expression in CHB patients. (A) T-bet mRNA expression was determined in patients separated into four groups: normal controls (N = 12), AHB patients (early phase) (N = 7), MCHB patients (N = 15) and SCHB patients (N = 10). The bars represent the (95% CI) T-bet mRNA expression for each group and the differences among groups were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. (B) Spearman correlation analysis showed a negative association between the frequency of Tim-3-postivie T cells and T-bet mRNA expression.
