Figure 3. The distribution of CD4⁺CD25⁺Foxp3⁺ cells and its specific transcription factor in peripheral blood of patients with HLA-B27-associated AAU and controls.

(a,b) CD4⁺CD25⁺Foxp3⁺ cells in control group and patients with HLA-B27-associated AAU (c). The mRNA level of Foxp3 expressed by PBMC in control group and HLA-B27-associated AAU patients. Data represent means ± SDs. Data were analyzed using Student’s t-test. Error bars represent s.e.m. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001 each control group vs HLA-B27-associated AAU patients. (AAU = acute anterior uveitis).
