Correlation between TFR, TFH, TFH2 subsets, and clinical parameters in active UC patients. (A) Levels of CRP in active UC patients were measured, and correlation analysis with percentages of CD4+CXCR5+FoxP3+ TFR cells (n = 44), CD4+CXCR5+FoxP3− TFH cells (n = 44), CXCR3−CCR6− TFH2 subsets (n = 32) were performed. (B) The disease activity of UC was evaluated by Mayo Clinic Score, and correlations with TFR and TFH cells in active UC patients (n = 44), and with percentages of TFH2 cells in active UC patients (n = 32) were performed. The r-values were the Spearman's correlation coefficients, and p < 0.05 was linearly regressed to show relevant trends.
