Baseline After treatment p value
T-cell subtypes/lymphocytes
 CTL/lymphocyte (%) 27.5 ± 2.1 30.2 ± 2.5 <.03
 Treg/lymphocyte (%) 2.1 ± 0.3 1.9 ± 0.3 .16
 Th1/lymphocyte (%) 7.6 ± 1.1 6.7 ± 0.9 .12
 Th2/lymphocyte (%) 0.8 ± 0.2 0.9 ± 0.3 .41
T-cell balance
 CTL/Treg ratio 18.8 ± 3.7 21.6 ± 3.6 <.05
 Th1/Th2 ratio 13.7 ± 3.0 17.2 ± 3.5 .12

Data are presented as mean and standard error (SE).
