Expression of Toll-Like Receptors 2 and 4 and Related Cytokines in Patients with Hepatic Cystic and Alveolar Echinococcosis

Figure 5

Correlations between mRNA levels of TLR2 and TLR4 in PBMCs and the concentration levels of IL-10 and IL-23. Spearman correlation coefficients indicated a significant positive correlation between the relative TLR2 mRNA levels and IL-23 concentration levels (, ). There were linear correlations between relative TLR2 mRNA expression levels and IL-10 concentration levels in PBMCs. There were also linear correlations between TLR4 mRNA levels and both IL-10 and IL-23 concentration levels in PBMCs, however, with no statistical significance ().
