Treg/Th17 Cell Balance in Patients with Hepatitis B Virus-Related Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure at Different Disease Stages

Figure 3

Flow cytometry analysis of the frequency of peripheral blood T-helper 17 cells (CD4⁺IL-17A⁺) in each group. The plots show representative data of three independent analyses. NC: normal control; CHB: chronic hepatitis B; ACLF-E: early-stage ACLF; ACLF-M: mid-stage ACLF; ACLF-L: late-stage ACLF; ACLF: acute-on-chronic liver failure.
