Fig. 6From: Decreased IL-17 during treatment of sputum smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis due to increased regulatory T cells and IL-10IL-17 secretion might be regulated by Treg cell and IL-10 in MTB infection. a The scatterplots and b the frequencies of Treg cells in PBMCs were presented. c Plasma levels of IL-10 in the AFB-positive group compared to AFB-negative group were analyzed by ELISA. Data were presented by box plot. **p < 0.01. d Correlation analysis between IL-10 and IL-17 in patients was analyzed. e The frequencies of IL-17-producing cell in NKT-like cells and T cells after stimulation with BCG alone or combined with rIL-10 were analyzed by flow cytometryBack to article page
