Figure 3. The changes of lymphocytes and levels of cytokines in peripheral blood of rats after islet transplantation.

Figure 3

(A, B) Seven and 14 days after transplantation, ECs coated islet grafts actived CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and SCs infusion could inhibit lymphocyte activation. (C, D) and Seven and 14 days after transplantation, ECs coated islet grafts group had significantly higher IL-2 and IFN-γ levels than those in other groups. (E) Seven and 14 days after transplantation, IL-4 levels in groups C and D were higher than that in groups A and B. IL-4 level in group D was significantly lower than that in group C. * P<0.05 vs. group B, # P<0.05 vs. group A, †P<0.05 vs. group C, n = 10.
