Fig 1 Effects of 1,4-BQ or benzene exposure. A, CFSE assays reveal a significant impairment in Treg-cell suppressive function by 50 nM 1,4-BQ treatment for 24 hours (2-way-ANOVA, P = .002, n = 5). B, IL-13 and GrzB concentrations were elevated in the supernatants of these CSFE assays (signed rank sum test, **P ≤ .01, ***P ≤ .001, n = 5). C, Association of benzene exposure with cytokine secretion and Treg-cell number in the LINA cohort.
