Cytokine production in CD4⁺ T cells in patients with lymphedema, post-lymphatic venous anastomosis (LVA), and healthy controls (HCs)

The expression of IFN-γ in (A) CD3⁺CD4⁺ T cells, (B) CD3⁺CD4⁺PD-1⁺ T cells, and (C) CD3⁺CD4⁺PD-1^- T cells. The expression of IL-4 in (D) CD3⁺CD4⁺ T cells, (E) CD3⁺CD4⁺PD-1⁺ T cells, and (F) CD3⁺CD4⁺PD-1^- T cells. The expression of IL-17A in (G) CD3⁺CD4⁺ T cells, (H) CD3⁺CD4⁺PD-1⁺ T cells, and (I) CD3⁺CD4⁺PD-1^- T cells. ∗p < 0.05. Non-parametric, independent, and paired continuous variables were compared using Mann–Whitney U test and Wilcoxon’s rank-sum test, respectively. Data are represented as median +/− interquartile range.
