Fig 4. Correlations among different subsets of B cells and the serum concentration of IL-10 in HSPN patients.

Fig 4

Potential correlations among the numbers of B cells of different subsets and the serum concentration of IL-10 were analyzed by the Spearman correlation tests. Data are expressed as the means or concentrations for individual subjects that participated in two separate experiments. (A-B) The number of CD38+CD19+ B cells was negatively correlated with the serum IL-10 level and the percentage of IL-10+CD19+ B cells. (C-D) The number of CD86+CD19+ B cells was negatively correlated with the serum IL-10 level and the number of IL-10+CD19+ B cells. (E-F) The serum IL-10 level was positively correlated with the numbers of CD1d+CD5+CD19+ and IL-10+CD1d+CD5+CD19+ B cells.
