Figure 7. Magnetic fields regulate Th17/Treg balance and down-regulate the inhibitory function of Treg cells in spleen.

(A) Flow cytometry analysis of Th1, Th2, Th17 and Treg cell populations in spleen. (B) Summarized data of Th1, Th2, Th17 and Treg cell populations in spleen. (C) mRNA expression of T-bet, GATA3, RORγ and Foxp3 in splenic lymphocytes were detected by qPCR. (D) Inhibitory function of Treg cells in each group were detected by mixed lymphocyte reaction. (E) The mean mass of spleen for each group (Mean ± s.e.m.). *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, or ns = No significant difference.
