Figure 2.
Comparison of hemoglobin level, platelet count, and soluble CD40L level, in cynomolgus monkeys with collagen-induced arthritis. Graphs of hemoglobin levels, platelet counts, and soluble CD40L levels. The time point of primary treatment is marked by the black arrow. Soluble CD40L levels are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 4 per group). The means of groups at each time points were compared using student t-tests. The paired t-test (†) was used to compare means from two related samples (before vs. after therapy). “*” and “†”Indicate significant differences (p < 0.05). Control: control group; Anti-CD154: anti-CD154 treatment group; sCD40L: soluble CD40 ligand.
