Association between the Dll4 expression levels and CSF WBC counts or CSF protein contents in HFMD patients with encephalitis (n = 40). Dll4 mRNA expression was assessed by real-time q-PCR. CSF WBC counts and protein contents were determined as described in the Methods. Each dot represents individual case and each line indicates the best-fit line. R2 values were calculated by Spearman rank correlation coefficient test.
