Fig. 5From: Vasoactive intestinal peptide ameliorates renal injury in a pristane-induced lupus mouse model by modulating Th17/Treg balanceEffects of VIP on the proportion of Th17/Treg cells in lymphocytes in vitro. Mouse spleen lymphocytes were separated in a sterile environment, and the experiment was terminated after 72 h of VIP treatment. The fraction of Th17 and Treg cells in each group was detected by flow cytometry. The pseudo-coloured flow cytometry picture represents the cellular distribution of one typical sample from each group. **p < 0.01 compared with LN miceBack to article page
