Fig. 2From: The clinical significance of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in dengue fever patientsDynamic changes in MDSCs with the increase of fever duration. Thawed peripheral blood samples from the DF patients were washed with PBS, stained with specific antibodies, and analyzed by flow cytometry. The plasma samples of the same subjects were measured for their dengue-RNA contents. Differences in (a) MDSC frequency and plasma dengue-RNA level with the increase in fever duration in 178 DF patients, (b) changes in the 14 follow-up DF patients with the increase in fever duration. Data represent the median with interquartile range. *-p < .05, **-p < .001: compared with fever duration of day 1–2Back to article page
