Figure 2. No differences in numbers of circulating Treg cells or mucosally-imprinted Treg cells between pediatric CD patients and controls.

Figure 2

(a) The percentage of CD62LnegCD38+ mucosally-imprinted T cells were observed within the peripheral blood CD4+ T cell population of CD patients (n = 36) and controls (n = 20). (b) The percentage of CCR9+ cells within the CD62LnegCD38+CD4+ T cell subset in pediatric CD patients (n = 34) and controls (n = 9). (c) Percentages of naive (CD45RA+) cells within CD62LnegCD38+CD4+ T cell in pediatric CD patients (n = 19) and controls (n = 9).(d) WBC counts per liter peripheral blood for pediatric CD patients (n = 36) and controls (n = 20). (e) The frequency of total Foxp3+ cells (gated on CD4+ lymphocytes) in pediatric CD patients (n = 36) and controls (n = 20). (f) The percentage of mucosally-imprinted Foxp3+CD62LnegCD38+ cells in pediatric CD patients (n = 36) and in controls (n = 20). * Statistically significant (P<0.05), n.s. not significant (Mann-Whitney U test).
