Blood transfusion practices affect CD4⁺ CD25⁺ FOXP3⁺ regulatory T cells/T helper-17 cells and the clinical outcome of geriatric patients with hip fracture

Figure 2. Flow cytometry analysis of CD4⁺CD25⁺Foxp3⁺ Treg cells and CD4⁺IL17⁺ T cells in HF patients and healthy controls. All of the values were gated on CD3⁺CD4⁺ T cells. The values shown in the each upper right quadrant represent the ratio of Treg cells (A) or Th17 cells (B) for the corresponding CD4⁺ cells. (C) The statistical histogram shows the changes in Tregs and Th17⁺ cells and the ratio of Treg/Th17 cells in HF patients and healthy controls.
