From: Expanded circulating follicular dendritic cells facilitate immune responses in chronic HBV infection
Circulating FDCs are expanded in patients with chronic HBV infection. a Comparison of the frequencies of FDCs between healthy controls (HCs, n = 10) and patients with chronic HBV infection (HBV, n = 31). b Comparison of the frequencies of FDCs between immune tolerant carrier (IT, n = 13), HBeAg-positive CHB (CHB, n = 9), and inactive carrier (IC, n = 9) patients. c–e Analyses of the correlations between the frequency of circulating FDCs and serum levels of ALT, AST, HBsAg, HBeAg, and HBV DNA in chronic HBV patients (n = 31). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.005
