Cytokine Production by Peripheral Blood CD4+ and CD8+ T Cells in Atopic Childhood Asthma
Figure 4
Scatterplot showing relationship between asthma duration and cytokine profile of peripheral blood T cells in asthmatic patients. (a) A good positive correlation was identified between percentages of CD4+/IL-10+ following stimulation and duration of asthma (, ). (b) A good positive correlation was identified between percentages of CD4+/IL-13+ following stimulation and duration of asthma (, ). Correlations were calculated using the Spearman test.
