(a) Correlation between the percentage of type III collagen and the number of mRNA relative copies for TGF-β in patients with keloid compared with that in the control group (Spearman; , ). (b) Correlation between the percentage of type III collagen and the number of mRNA relative copies for IFN-γ in patients with keloid compared with that in patients in the control group (Spearman; , ). (c) Correlation between the percentage of type III collagen and the number of mRNA relative copies for IFN-γR1 in patients with keloid compared with that in patients in the control group (Spearman; , ). (d) Correlation between the percentage of type III collagen and the number of mRNA relative copies for IL-10 in patients with keloid compared with that in patients in the control group (Spearman; , ).
