Figure 2. Changes in T-bet expression in blood NK cells in trauma patients.

Figure 2

A. NK cells demonstrate decreased expression of the transcription factor T-bet on day 1 after injury, which returns to normal by day 3 and becomes significantly increased compared to baseline by day 5. B. Expression of TNFβ, IFNγ and MCP-1 showing similar expression patterns; IFNγ and MCP-1 show a similar trend as TNFβ although not statistically significant. C. Reduced T-bet expression in patients that subsequently develop an infection. Statistics were performed using one-way ANOVA; results were considered significant if p < 0.05.
