Increased density of tolerogenic dendritic cells in the small bowel mucosa of celiac patients

Figure 6 Densities of CD103⁺ DCs on cryostat sections for the different study groups (A); Spearman’s rank correlation between the histological grades (according to Marsh) and the densities of CD103⁺ DCs for the studied persons (B); or between the densities of CD103⁺ DCs and FOXP3⁺ Treg cells for the entire study group (C). The dots represent the mean values of positively stained cells per microscopic field. ^bP≤ 0.01, CD vs normal mucosa; ^dP < 0.01, CD with T1D vs normal mucosa; ^fP < 0.01, CD total vs normal mucosa. CD: Celiac disease; T1D: Type 1 diabetes; DC: Dendritic cell; Tregs: regulatory T cells..
