Figure 4: Comparison of blood and intestinal IL-17+IL-22-, IL-17+IL-22+ or IL-17-IL-22+ CD4 T cell subsets in chronic SIV infection of macaques. Percentages of IL-17+IL-22-, IL-17+IL-22+ or IL-17-IL-22+ cell subsets in peripheral blood and intestinal mucosal tissues in uninfected (Blood, n=21; Jejunum, n=42) and chronically SIV-infected (Blood, n=15; Jejunum, n=16) macaques are shown. Statistical analyses show significant differences in levels of IL-17+IL-22-, IL-17+IL-22+ or IL-17- IL-22+ cells in blood and intestine between SIV-infected and uninfected animals. |
