Changes in circulating Foxp3+ regulatory T cells and interleukin-17-producing T helper cells during HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure

Figure 6 Predictive value of the Foxp3⁺ regulatory T cells to interleukin-17-producing T helper cells cell ratio during disease development on the survival of hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure patients. A: A lower ratio of Treg cells to Th17 frequency in non-survival ACHBLF patients at clinical onset; B: The distribution of the ratio of Treg cells to Th17 cells in surviving ACHBLF patients; C: The distribution of the ratio of Treg cells to Th17 cells in non-surviving ACHBLF patients. Each symbol represents one individual, and each line represents the changes in an individual patient’s ratio of Treg to Th17 frequency. The solid line depicts the mean ratio of all patients.
