Correlation between the expressions of IL-23 and IL-17 in OLP tissue specimens. (a–c) Correlations between the staining scores of IL-23p19 and numbers of IL-17+ cells per hpf in total OLP tissue specimens (, , ), erosive OLP tissue specimens (, , ) and reticular OLP tissue specimens (, , ). (d-e) Correlations between the mRNA expressions of IL-23p19 ((d) , ) or IL-12p40 ((e) , ) and IL-17 in reticular OLP tissue specimens ().
