Analysis of T Cell Subsets in Adult Primary/Idiopathic Minimal Change Disease: A Pilot Study

Figure 5

Comparative circulating cell numbers per microlitre of blood and comparative percentages from total lymphocytes of circulating CD19+ B cells (a, b), monocytes (c, d), CD3⁺TCRd1⁺ gamma-delta T cells (e, f), CD3⁺TCRd2⁺ gamma-delta T cells (g, h), CD3⁺CD56⁺ NKT cells (i, j), CD4^-CD161⁺TCRa7.2⁺ MAIT cells (k, l), and CD3^-CD56⁺ NK cells (m, n) between up to 8 primary MCD patients and up to 12 healthy controls. Cells were detected by 20-colour fluorescence-activated flow cytometry. The median cell numbers are represented by the horizontal lines. The asterisks indicate that the comparisons were statistically significant and the respective value is given.
