Peripheral blood B-cell subsets in HAT and in controls.

Blood was taken from HAT patients and from non-HAT controls before treatment (T = 0 months) and after treatment or at the corresponding time point (T = 7 months). All comparisons were performed with the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. B-cells are expressed as percentage of all lymphocytes and all the B-cell subsets are expressed as percentages of B-cells. Q1–4 refers to the corresponding quarters in Figure 1. Individual data are shown in Fig. S1, and can be obtained from the authors upon request.本研究于治疗前（T=0个月）及治疗后或对应时间点（T=7个月），采集非洲人类锥虫病（Human African Trypanosomiasis，HAT）患者与非HAT对照人群的血液样本。所有统计比较均采用Wilcoxon符号秩检验（Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test）完成。B细胞以占全部淋巴细胞的百分比进行呈现，所有B细胞亚群则以占总B细胞的百分比进行呈现。Q1~4 指代图1中的对应分组。原始个体数据见于补充图S1，如有需要可向作者索取。
