Median counts over time for T-cell subtypes: (A) naturally occurring
T-regulatory (nTreg) cells
(CD4+CD25+CD127−); (B)
naïve-like nTreg cells
(CD4+CD25+CD127−RA(HI)+);
and (C) memory-like nTreg cells
(CD4+CD25+CD127−RA−);
proportions of lymphocyte subtypes relative to CD4+ cells
for (D) naturally occurring T-regulatory (nTreg) cells
(CD4+CD25+CD127−); and relative
to (E) nTreg cells for naïve-like nTreg cells
(CD4+CD25+CD127−RA(HI)+);
and (F) memory-like nTreg cells
(CD4+CD25+CD127−RA−)
in the ORACLE-MS study.
In (A)–(C), the lower and upper error bars indicate first and third
quartile values. In (D)–(F), the horizontal line indicates median
values, lower and upper box edges indicate Q1 and Q3 values (data in
(D) expressed as a percentage of total CD4+ cell counts;
data in (E) and (F) expressed as percentage of nTreg cell counts).
Values in (D) indicate percentage changes from week 0 in the
proportion of cells relative to total CD4+ cells. Values
shown in (E) and (F) indicate percentage change from week 0 in the
proportion of cell types relative to total nTregs. There was an
increase in memory-like nTreg cells towards the end of sampling.
