Figure 1From: Elevated IL-6 Receptor Expression on CD4+ T Cells contributes to the increased Th17 Responses in patients with Chronic Hepatitis BTh17 cells were increased in peripheral blood of CHB and AHB patients. (A) Dot plots show intracellular staining for IL-17-producing CD4 T cells (Th17) and IFN-γ-producing CD4 T cells (Th1) in the peripheral blood of HD, AsC, CHB and AHB. Pooled data indicates the percentage of (B) Th17 and (C) Th1 within CD4 T cells in peripheral blood of HD (n = 29), AsC (n = 25), CHB (n = 40) and AHB (n = 11) patients. *p < 0.05; ***p < 0.001; Horizontal bars represent the median values; ns, not significance.Back to article page
