Uncomplicated Diverticular Disease: Innate and Adaptive Immunity in Human Gut Mucosa before and after Rifaximin
Figure 3
Expression of TLRs in monocytes and granulocytes. (a, b) Percentage of TLR2 and TLR4 monocytes in peripheral blood, at baseline and after Rifaximin and placebo treatments. (c, d) Median of fluorescence (MFI) of TLR2 and TLR4 monocytes in peripheral blood at baseline and after Rifaximin and placebo treatments. (e, f) MFI of TLR2 and TLR4 granulocytes in peripheral blood at baseline and after Rifaximin and placebo treatments. The values reported in box-and-whiskers plots show the minimum, the 25th percentile, the median, the 75th percentile, and the maximum. In particular, the whiskers go down to the smallest value (minimum) and up to the largest one (maximum), the top and bottom of the box are the 25th and 75th percentiles, and the line in the middle of the box is the median corresponding to 50th percentile (, , and patients versus controls (health or baseline)). Healthy control (CTR), UDD patients (PZ), before Rifaximin (BR), after Rifaximin (AR), before placebo (BP), and after placebo (AP).
