BATF silencing enhanced PPD-specific CD4+ T cells proliferation in patients with ATB in vitro. (A) Representative CD4-gated dot plots (left panel) and histograms (right panel) of proliferation of CFSE-labeled cells were measured by the fraction of CFSEdimCD4+ cells in the presence of PPD for 4 days after transfection. (B) PPD-specific CD4+ T cells proliferation in the BATF siRNA group was markedly higher than that in the negative control siRNA group (n = 6). Data are expressed as before-and-after plots. **P < 0.01. PPD, purified protein derivative; ATB, active tuberculosis; siRNA, small interfering RNA.
