Regulatory and Activated T Cells in Human Schistosoma haematobium Infections
Figure 4
The association of Treg and Tact proportions with infection intensity are presented partitioned by age group.
The variation in infection intensity ((log10 (egg count+1) transformed) was analysed for the potential confounding effects sex and village using ANOVA and calculated residuals are plotted against the proportion of Treg (A, B) or Tact (C, D; arcsin√ transformed) after dividing into two age groups as indicated. Obtained residuals were used for further used in a regression analysis whose p- and β- values are given.
