Expansion of Circulating T Follicular Helper Cells in Children with Acute Henoch-Schönlein Purpura

Figure 5

Expression of IL-21, IL-6, and Bcl-6 mRNA from HCs and acute HSP patients. (a) Levels of the relative expression of IL-21 mRNA in PBMCs from HCs () and HSP patients (). (b) Levels of the relative expression of IL-6 mRNA in PBMCs from HCs () and HSP patients (). (c) Levels of the relative expression of Bcl-6 mRNA in CD4⁺T from HCs () and HSP patients (). Each data point represents an individual subject, and the data of each sample was an average value of three independent experiments with similar results. The horizontal lines show means.
