The regulatory T (Treg) cell : T helper type 17 (Th17) cell ratio was increased in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients, especially in HCV genotype 1b patients. (a) Representative dot plots of CD25+ FoxP3+ and IL-17A+ expression in peripheral CD4+ T cells of normal controls (NC) and HCV-infected patients. The values in the quadrants indicate the percentage of each CD4+ T-cell subset. (b) The percentage of Treg cells, Th17 cells and the ratio of circulating Treg cells to Th17 cells in NC and HCV-infected patients. (c) The percentage of Treg cells, Th17 cells and the ratio of circulating Treg cells to Th17 cells in patients with HCV genotype 1b and 2a infection. Horizontal bars represent the mean values of indicated index.
