Figure 2From: Toll-like receptor 2 gene polymorphisms, pulmonary tuberculosis, and natural killer cell counts Homozygous TLR2 -100 GT repeat polymorphism and absolute natural killer (NK) cell counts measured at diagnosis. TB patients carrying homozygous S alleles for TLR2 -100 microsatellite GT repeat polymorphism (SS genotype) had higher blood absolute NK cell counts compared with those carrying one S allele or without carrying S allele (p = 0.004). The box plots show 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles, maximal, minimal, outliers (○).Back to article page
