Figure 1

HLA-DR expression in septic patients with different sepsis severity. mRNA expression levels (A) and monocyte surface expression (B) of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR at day 1 or 2 after admission. Statistical differences between septic patients and controls were demonstrated in both HLA-DRA (A) (P = 0.036) and mHLA-DR (B) (P <0.0001) expression. Significant differences were demonstrated in HLA-DRA (A) (P = 0.009) and mHLA-DR (B) (P = 0.029) expression when the severity groups of non-severe (n = 48) and severe sepsis/septic shock (n = 11) were compared.
