A Schematic of the gating for flow cytometric analysis of lymphocyte subsets. Total T cells: CD3 + CD19 − , B cells: CD3 − CD19 + , NK cells: CD3 + CD16 + CD56 + , CD4 + T cells: CD3 + CD4 + , CD8 + T cells: CD3 + CD8 + , Th1 cells: CD4 + IFNγ + , Th2 cells: CD4 + IL − 4 + , Th17 cells: CD4 + IL − 17 + , Treg cells: CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + . B Proportions and absolute numbers of T, B, and NK cells in different groups. Absolute numbers and percentages of CD4 and CD8 cells, and the ratios thereof, in HCs and patients with Ea-RA, Ad-RA, and Tr-RA. Ea-RA: Early RA; Ad-RA: Advanced RA; Tr-RA: Treated RA; HC: Healthy controls. (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001)
