Figure 2: Serum levels of IL-6,IL-21, IL-23, and TGF-β in thymoma patients.
The serum levels of IL-6, IL-21, IL-23 and TGF-β were detected by ELISA assay. Only the IL-6 levels in Tm group were lower than those in MG group (P =0.01). Differences in IL-21, IL-23, and TGF-β levels between the two groups were not statistically significant.
