Shown are the level of HGK expression and the frequency of IL-6-producing T cells in individual IGT or T2D patients whose immunoblot data were available. The frequency of IL-6-producing T cells for one patient (#5) was not determined (ND). Fold denotes HGK levels of individual samples relative to that of the first healthy control on each membrane (Figure 1A).
