Figure 1. Scatterplots showing the levels of interleukin (IL)-10, IL-17, and interferon (IFN)-γ in supernatant (pg/ml) of peripheral blood mononuclear cell cultures stimulated for 6 days with ocular and control lysates, for each birdshot chorioretinopathy subgroup and the control group. Each circle represents a patient or control as indicated in the upper right legend. Horizontal lines indicate the geometric mean per group. Active=patients with active disease naïve to immunomodulatory therapy (IMT). Inactive=patients with a current or past history of IMT or inactive disease. Skin=protein lysate derived from a skin biopsy of two healthy controls. SEB=Staphylococcal enterotoxin B. Retina=protein lysate derived from retinas of two healthy controls. Choroid=protein lysate derived from choroid of two healthy controls. Limit for detection of cytokines (pg/ml); interleukin (IL)-10, >1.7; IL-17, >8.7; interferon (IFN)-γ, >0.8. Statistical analysis was performed using Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn's multiple-comparison post-hoc test. *=p<0.05, **=p<0.01, ***=p<0.001.
