Analysis of T Cell Subsets in Adult Primary/Idiopathic Minimal Change Disease: A Pilot Study

Figure 4

Comparative circulating cell numbers per microlitre of blood and comparative percentages from total lymphocytes of circulating total CD3⁺ T cells (a, b), total CD4⁺ T cells (c, d), naïve CD4⁺CD45RA⁺ T cells (g, h), memory CD4⁺CD45RA^- T cells (k, l), total CD8⁺ T cells (e, f), naïve CD8⁺CD45RA⁺ T cells (i, j), memory CD8⁺CD45RA^- T cells (m, n), CD4⁺CD25⁺Foxp3⁺ Treg cells (o, p), and CD4⁺CD161⁺ Th17 cells (q, r) between 7 primary MCD patients and up to 12 healthy controls. Cells were detected by 20-colour fluorescence-activated flow cytometry. The median cell numbers are represented by the horizontal lines. The asterisks indicate that the comparisons were statistically significant and the respective value is given.
