mRNA expression in human CD4+T cells from GD patients. The expression of several transcription factors (Bcl-6, T-bet, GATA-3, and RORγt) in peripheral CD4+T cells from the 9 GD patients and 12 HC was detected with a real-time PCR assay. (a) Relative expression levels of Bcl-6 mRNA; (b) relative expression levels of T-bet mRNA; (c) relative expression levels of GATA-3 mRNA; (d) relative expression levels of RORγt mRNA. , , and ; ns: no significant difference.
