RT² profiler PCR array of mouse Th cell differentiation. The results of gene expressions of Th1 cells, Th2 cells, iTreg and nTreg, Th17 cells and “conventional Th vs. Treg cells” in a PBS-treated MRL/lpr vs. Balb/c mice (in ratio) and b LZ–SMS-treated vs. PBS-treated MRL/lpr mice (in ratio) are presented as box-and-whisker plots with the median (IQR). Mann–Whitney U test was used to assess the differences of mRNA expression among different genes of Th cells. ^* P < 0.05
