The Treg/Th17 Imbalance in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome
Figure 1
Frequencies of circulating Th17 and Treg cells, as well as the ratio of Th17/Treg in OSAS patients and control group. PBMCs from studied subjects were stained with labeled antibodies as described in Section 2. (a) Circulating Th17 frequencies increased in OSAS patients compared with controls; (b) circulating Treg cell subset decreased in OSAS patients compared with controls; (c) the ratio of Th17/Treg increased in OSAS patients compared with controls.
