CD4+NKG2D+ T cells are
activated in different subgroups of JIA patients
There were no statistical differences of age and gender among the
different groups of JIA and the control group (P>0.05). The
percentages of peripheral
CD4+NKG2D+T cells in the different active subgroups and healthy control are shown
in
Figure
1.
All
JIA subgroups had a significantly higher proportion of
CD4+NKG2D+ T cells than the healthy
controls (P < 0.01). Systemic onset JIA (soJIA) patients
displayed a significantly lower
proportion
of CD4+NKG2D+ T cells than paJIA and
poJIA
patients
(P < 0.05). No statistical difference in the proportion of
CD4+NKG2D+ T cells was evident
between
paJIA
and poJIA patients
(P>0.05).
