Fig 1 A-D, Correlation of TREC values and CD3+, CD4+, and CD4+CD45RA+ T-cell counts in all patients with pDGS. E-H, Patients with pDGS with “low T cells.” I-L, Patients with pDGS with “normal T-cells.” Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology 2009 123, 960-962.e2DOI: (10.1016/j.jaci.2009.01.002) Copyright © 2009 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Terms and Conditions
Fig 2 The “low T cells” patient group had significantly lower TREC values and higher IL-7 levels than the “normal T cells” patient group. A and C, Median TRECs/1000 mononuclear cells and plasma IL-7 levels (in picograms per milliliter) were 26.0 and 7.3 in the “low T cells” group and 105.3 and 3.3 in the “normal T cells” group, respectively. B, IL-7 levels were inversely correlated with TRECs in children with pDGS. Stars represent the 2 patients with low TREC values and low IL-7 levels.
