Table 1. Correlation analysis of transcription factors versus CCL and CCR mRNA expressions. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) between the transcription factors T-bet (Th1), GATA-3 (Th2), and RORC2 (Th17) and the Th1-, Th2-, or Th17-associated CCLs and CCRs were calculated using T lymphocytes stimulated by autologous dendritic cells primed at a MOI=102 with the different A. actinomycetemcomitans serotypes. *p<0.05.
