Flow cytometric analysis of CD69 expression in CD4⁺ T cells. Flow cytometric comparison of CD69 expression in the (a) CD4⁺CD25^–, (b) CD4⁺CD25^int and (c) CD4⁺CD25^hi T cell populations in latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA) patients (n = 36) and healthy control individuals (n = 20). Flow cytometric comparison of the percentage of CD69⁺FoxP3⁺ T cells among the (d) CD4⁺CD25^–, (e) CD4⁺CD25^int and (f) CD4⁺CD25^hi T cell populations in LADA (n = 36) and healthy control individuals (n = 20). Mean value for each group is indicated with a horizontal line.
