High ratios of CD27-positive lymphocytes in dcSSc patients. The samples were prepared from skin tissues obtained from patients with dcSSc (n = 5) and those with lcSSc (n = 3). The ratio of CD27-positive cells to overall lymphocytes was calculated for each of the five high-power fields from each sample, respectively. The ratios of CD27-positive cells in dcSSc patients were significantly higher than those in lcSSc patients (32.2% vs. 19.7%). Bars indicate means (SD). p values less than 0.05 are interpreted as significant.
