Activation of T Lymphocytes in Response to Persistent Bacterial Infection: Induction of CD11b and of Toll-Like Receptors on T Cells

Figure 4

Presence of TLR positive cells in the peripheral blood of patients correlates with infection: CD4+CD28+CD11b+TLR1+, CD4+CD28+CD11b+TLR2, or CD4+CD28+CD11b+TLR4 was quantified by cytofluorometry at the day of surgery (before) or 6 to 8 days later (after), when the infection was resolved. Each symbol refers to an individual patient; the line connects the values before and after surgery.
