FIG. 4.

Immunologic analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and rectal biopsy (GALT) tissue. The fractions of CD4⁺ cells among CD3⁺ T cells (A), of Ki67⁺ cells among CD8⁺ T cells (B), and of FoxP3⁺ cells among CD4⁺ T cells (C) were measured in PBMCs (left) and in rectal biopsy tissue (right). (D) The relative expression of IL-17, FoxP3, and MX1 mRNA was measured in rectal biopsy tissue. The 1mT group is denoted by solid lines and the saline group is denoted by dashed lines.
