Figure 2. IL-17-associated cytokine pattern in biological fluids from BP patients.
Scatter plots of the Th17-related cytokine levels IL-22 (a) and the pro-inflammatory cytokines levels TGF-β (b), IL-6 (c) and IL-23 (d) measured by ELISA in control (CTR) serum, and serum and BF from BP patients at time of diagnosis. The solid line represents the mean level of each cytokine in each group. Mann-Whitney test was used for statistics.
