Fig. 1From: Elevated Th17 cell proportion, related cytokines and mRNA expression level in patients with hypertension-mediated organ damage: a case control studyThe proportion of Th17 cells revealed by flow cytometry analysis. A–C The proportion of Th17 cells in control group. P1: lymphocytes. P2: CD3 + lymphocytes. The percentage of CD3 + CD4 + IL-17A + (Th17) cells among the total CD3 + CD4 + T cells was indicated in the upper right quadrant of C. D–F and G–I shows the proportion of Th17 cells in non-HMOD group and HMOD group, respectively. The proportion of Th17 cells was significantly increased in HMOD and non-HMOD group compared with control group, while Th17 cells was also increased in HMOD group compared with non-HMOD group (P < 0.005).
