Chronic Brucellosis Patients Retain Low Frequency of CD4+ T-Lymphocytes Expressing CD25 and CD28 after Escherichia coli LPS Stimulation of PHA-Cultured PBMCs
Figure 1
Comparison of the PHA-cultures. HKBA addition
downregulates (a) the percentages of CD4+/CD25+
T-cells in all groups and (b) CD14+/CD80+ monocytes in brucellosis patients. Data represent mean values+SD (SE).
#P ≤ .05;
PHA versus PHA + E. coli LPS, ≤ .05;
< .001; PHA versus PHA + HKBA, *P ≤ .05; **P < .001; PHA + E. coli LPS versus PHA + HKBA.
