Values of Th1, Th2 and Th2/Th1 in heathy control, ICU control and septic groups upon enrollment. a Gating strategy used for flow cytometric analysis. CD3 positive (CD3+) cells were analysed and further specified according to size/granularity in E1. R1 in green represents CD3+ CD8− T cells, which approximately equal to CD4+ T cells while R2 in yellow stands for CD8+ T cells. Th1 cells are defined as INF-gamma+ cells in CD3–CD8+ cells as R3 shows in blue. Th2 cells are defined IL4+ cells in CD3–CD8+ cells as R4 shows in orange. Values of Th1 (b), Th2 (c) and Th2/Th1 (d) upon enrollment in heathy control, ICU control and septic groups are presented as scatter dot plots with lines for median value and quartiles
