STAT3 signaling. Levels of phosphorylated STAT3 (pSTAT3) in lymphocytes of healthy subjects (circles) and patients (quadrangles) in whole blood samples without supplement (open symbols) or supplemented (closed symbols) with IL-6 (100 ng/ml, five minutes). A. Fluorescence intensity (RFU, relative fluorescence units); B. sample histograms; C. proportion of pSTAT3-positive cells among all lymphocytes (N = 12 to 13); D. Fluorescence intensity; E. proportion of pSTAT3-positive lymphocytes among; F. fluorescence intensity of pSTAT3-positive lymphocytes among subsets of non-stimulated lymphocytes. Horizontal lines in A and C-F denote median and M1 (marker) in B denotes proportion of pSTAT3-positive lymphocytes. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001.
