Figure 1 CXCR3 expression on T cells in rhG-CSF-mobilized PBSC grafts (light symbols) and SS-PB (dark symbols). Mean values are represented by horizontal lines in each series. (A) Representative example of CXCR3 expression on CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ T cells in SS-PB and PBSC grafts. (B) Percentages of CXCR3 expression on CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ T cells before and after in vivo rhG-CSF application.

Figure 3 Effect of rhG-CSF on IFN-γ, IL-4, and IL-17 production by CD4+ Th cells. Bars represent percentages (mean ± SD) in IFN-γ-, IL-4-, and IL-17–expressing CD4+ Th cells before (light bars) and after (black bars) rhG-CSF mobilization. P values were determined using t-tests for paired samples. ∗P < .01, ∗∗P < .05. (A) Mean percentages of IFN-γ-, IL-4-, and IL-17-producing CD4+ Th cells. (B) Representative example of IL-17-producing CD4+ T cells before and after rhG-CSF application.
