Breg Cells in Celiac Disease Isolated or Associated to Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis

Figure 3

Nonstimulated Breg memory cells. (a) Percentage of Breg memory cells (CD24^hi CD38⁻) in healthy donors (HD), in patients with isolated Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT), in patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis plus celiac disease (HT + CD), and in patients with celiac disease (CD). Box plots indicate median, interquartile range (box), and minimum and maximum values (whiskers). Nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test . Dunn posttest: HT vs HT + CD and HT + CD vs CD . (b) Percentage of Breg memory cells (CD24^hi CD27⁺) in healthy donors (HD), in patients with isolated Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT), in patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis plus celiac disease (HT + CD), and in patients with celiac disease (CD). Box plots indicate median, interquartile range (box), and minimum and maximum values (whiskers). Nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test . Dunn posttest: HT vs HT + CD and HT + CD vs CD .
