Determination of transforming growth factor-β, interleukin-10 and autoantibody in interferon-α 2b-treated patients with melanoma. (A) Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), (B) interleukin (IL)-10, and serum autoantibodies: (C) antinuclear antibody (ANA), (D) anti-cardiolipin (ACA), (E) anti-double stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA), and (F) anti-thyroglobulin (anti-HTG) levels by week in 14/22 patients with melanoma treated with interferon-α 2b. Horizontal lines inside the boxes = median values; upper and lower boundaries of the boxes = first and third quartiles of the distribution; whiskers = mild outliers; open dots = outliers; and asterisks = extreme outliers.
