Figure 6.

Spontaneous clearance of VPI 10463 infection led to mesenteric but not inguinal T_reg polarization. Dot plots show the differential expression of subset-specific transcription factors in the mesenteric (A) and inguinal (C) lymph nodes relative to Gapdh. The p-values resulting from t-test were 0.018 for A and 0.0325 for (B) Linear regression analyses indicate correlations among the expression of transcription factors (B) and between Gata3 expression and arthritis scores (D). Calculations were performed via Spearman rank correlation analyses. Each dot represents an individual mouse.
