Effect of T-regulatory cells and interleukin-35, interleukin-10, and transforming growth factor-beta on diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

Table 3 Comparison of the percentage of CD4+, CD8+ and T-regulatory cells across the different subgroups

Group	n	CD4+	CD8+	Tregs
Incipient	79	32.67 ± 11.11	39.26 ± 9.06	6.32 ± 3.21
Effectively treated	45	28.63 ± 4.07	38.59 ± 9.14	5.1 ± 2.02
Relapse-refractory	34	38.01 ± 14.76	40.15 ± 9.00	7.95 ± 3.76
Control	30	26.15 ± 5.84	37.14 ± 8.14	4.11 ± 2.26
F value		9.439c	0.671	10.736c
P value		< 0.001	0.571	< 0.001
Multiple comparison		The proportion of CD4+ cells was higher in the incipient and relapsed-refractory groups than in the effectively treated and normal control groups.	/	The proportion of Tregs was higher in the incipient and relapsed-refractory groups than in the effectively treated and normal control groups.
