Figure 4.

Electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation increased the percentages of the splenic CD₄⁺ and CD₈⁺ T cell subsets. On day 20 postinoculation, the spleens from the rats in each of the 5 groups were collected, and the spleen mononuclear cells were prepared. (A-D) The histograms show the differences in the percentages of the CD₃⁺ (A), CD₃⁺CD₄⁺ (B), CD₃⁺CD₈⁺ T cells (C), and CD₄⁺/CD₈⁺ cells (D) in the splenic monocytes in the 5 groups. The values are shown as the mean ± SEM of duplicate wells. *P < .05, **P < .01 versus Control; ○P < .05 versus Sham BCP; ^∆P < .05 versus BCP; ^●P < .05, ^●●P < .01 versus BCP + Mor. (E) Representative quadrant dot-plots of the splenic T cell subsets are shown.
