Table 2.

Mean percentage of human blood DC subsets in PBMC and relative proportion of DC subsets in T1D versus control subjects.

LS Means (%)			p value
NC		T1D	NC-T1D	Age*
pDC/PBMC	0.188	0.127	6.0×10^-5	0.0007
mDC1/PBMC	0.225	0.214	0.83	0.111
mDC2/PBMC	0.013	0.013	0.99	0.333
DC/PBMC	0.426	0.353	0.028	0.006
pDC/DC	44.3	35.7	0.00018	0.031
mDC1/DC	52.7	60.7	0.0002	0.067
mDC2/DC	3.1	3.7	0.098	0.007
pDC/mDC1	0.69	0.52	0.0006	0.03

NC = normal controls. LS means are within-group means appropriately adjusted for the other effects in the model (subject age in this case). P values for age are derived from regression analysis for subject age in all subjects (T1D + NC). P-values under “Age” denote p value after ANCOVA.
