  1. PBMC and serum from UC patients and Non UC patients were isolated and subjected to flow cytometric analysis. The table displays differences of mean values of frequency of immune cells in the blood and serum levels of factors. UC patients versus Non UC donors, UC patients treated with TNFa blocker, Glucocorticoid, Mesalazine and Immunesupprssiva compared to all other patients (complete data set in Additional file 1: Table S1)
  2. A two-sided t-test and a significance level = 0.05 was used to compare groups. Differences in mean values = Δ. CI confidence interval. Significantly altered values are depicted in italic numbers
