Elevated Apoptosis and Impaired Proliferation Contribute to Downregulated Peripheral γδ T Cells in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Figure 4
Reduced γ δ T cell proliferation in active SLE patients. (a) and (b) Proliferation of γ δ T cells in one healthy control cultured without or with stimulation of rhIL-2 (200 U/mL) and immobilized anti-human γ δ TCR (1 ug/mL) for 7 days. (c) and (d) Proliferation of γ δ T cells in a SLE patient cultured without or with stimulation. (e) Comparison of γ δ T cell proliferation under the stimulation of rhIL-2 and immobilized anti-human γ δ TCR between active SLE patients and healthy controls (, *).
