The CD40 rs1883832 Polymorphism Affects Sepsis Susceptibility and sCD40L Levels

Figure 3

Influence of the CD40 rs1883832 polymorphism on CD40 expression in sepsis patients. (a) Association between CD40 mRNA expression and the CD40 rs1883832 polymorphism in sepsis patients, per group. (b) Representative immunoblot showing CD40 protein expression by genotype among sepsis patients, per group. Individuals with the TT genotype displayed the highest mRNA and protein expression of CD40. All data are presented as the mean ± SD. compared with CC genotype carriers. , compared with CT genotype carriers.
