Characteristics of the samples and demographics of the subjects.

The table shows gender and age, the number of PBMCs from each subject, the cell count and extracted RNA quality indicators of each sorted type 1 and type 2 helper T (Th1 and Th2, respectively) cell sample, and the proportion of each subclass among the CD4+ cells. As the proportion of each subclass among the CD4+ cells, percentages of Th1, Th2, CXCR3+/CCR4+ double-positive population (WP), and CXCR3−/CCR4− double-negative population (WN) in the CD4+ Th cells are shown in “% of CD4+” columns. RNA quality of each Th1 and Th2 sample is indicated as a 28S/18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) ratio and an RNA integrity number (RIN) of total RNA measured using the Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100. The “Exclusion” column indicates whether a sample met the exclusion criteria: 28S/18S rRNA ratio of Characteristics of the samples and demographics of the subjects.
