FGL2 protein expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). a Column diagrams represent expression of FGL2 in the NC group, UC group, and CD group. The NC group (n = 30) contained 18 males and 12 females; the mean age was 40.5 years. The UC group (n = 30) contained 17 males and 13 females; the mean age was 44.3 years. The CD group (n = 29) contained 17 males and 12 females; the mean age was 35.4 years. b Expression of FGL2 in the NC group, active UC group, and inactive UC group. The active UC group (n = 16) contained 9 males and 7 females; the mean age was 48.3 years. The inactive UC group (n = 14) contained 8 males and 6 females; the mean age was 40.3 years. c Expression of FGL2 in the NC group, active CD group, and inactive CD group. The active CD group (n = 17) included 10 males and 7 females; the mean age was 38.9 years. The inactive CD group (n = 12) contained 7 males and 5 females; the mean age was 32.0 years. Data are presented as mean ± SD. UC (A) active UC, UC (I) inactive UC, CD (A) active CD, CD (I) inactive CD. *Significance compared with NC (P < 0.001); ^§significance compared with patients with inactive disease (P < 0.001)
