Phenotype profile of innate immunity in SCA patients. The frequency of cell phenotypes (a) and Toll-like receptor expression (b) were measured in peripheral blood of SCA patients and healthy donors by flow cytometry. The results are shown in scatter plots with individual values, and the median percentage of cells or mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) is represented as a line. Significant differences () are highlighted by connecting lines and asterisks () for comparison with the HD group.
