Clinical Significance of Peripheral Blood T Lymphocyte Subsets in Helicobacter pylori-Infected Patients
Figure 1
(a) Comparison of the percentage of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Left and right sides show the data of control subjects and H. pylori-infected patients, respectively. White columns represent the percentage of CD4+ T lymphocyte, and black columns represent CD8+ T lymphocyte. Data are given as mean ± SD. There was no significant difference in the percentage of CD4+ T cells in H. pylori-infected patients (mean ± SD; %) as compared to control subjects (mean ± SD; %). However, the percentage of CD8+ T cells was significantly lower in H. pylori-infected patients (mean ± SD; %) compared to control subjects (mean ± SD; %) (). (b) CD4/CD8 ratio in control subjects (white column) and H. pylori-infected patients (black column). Data are given as mean ± SD. The CD4/CD8 ratio was significantly higher in H. pylori-infected patients (mean ± SD; ) compared to control subjects (mean ± SD; ) ().
