Figure 1. Immune Cell Quantitation in HCQ-responders, HCQ+QC-responders, and Nonresponders.

Figure 1.

(a) There was a significantly higher number of CD69+ T cells in nonresponders compared to HCQ-responders and HCQ+QC-responders (p<0.05). (b) The percentage area stained for Kv1.3, a marker of autoreactive T cells, was not significantly different between the nonresponders and responders to antimalarial therapy. (c) There was a significantly higher number of mDCs in HCQ+QC-responders compared to the nonresponders (p<0.001) and HCQ-responders (p<0.01). (d) There was a significantly higher number of pDCs in the HCQ-responders compared to the nonresponders (p<0.05). (e) There was no significant difference in the number of MAC387+ cells and f. number of neutrophils among the three groups. The graphs show mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
