Figure 1

Treg cells kinetics during shock. Regulatory T lymphocytes (Treg) cells are defined as CD4+CD25+CD127- lymphocytes. Percentages of Tregs among CD4+ lymphocytes, as well as absolute count are determined in shock patients within 12 hours of admission, and then at days three, five and seven. Seven healthy volunteers served as controls. (a) Examples of Tregs percentage determination in a healthy volunteer (left panel) and a septic shock patient on admission (right panel). (b) Time-course of Tregs absolute count and (c) Percentage in patients with shock. * P < 0.03 patients vs. healthy volunteers.
