Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) receptor subtype expression on granulocytes and monocytes from patients with alcoholic cirrhosis (AC, n=23) and healthy controls (HC, n=19) in group II
| Monocytes | Granulocytes | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AC | HC | AC | HC | ||
| TNF-RI (mfi) | 4.9 (0.5) | 5.3 (0.6) | 5.2 (0.4)* | 7.1 (0.4) | |
| TNF-RI (% pos. cells) | 3.2 (0.6) | 4.3 (1.0) | 40.1 (7.3)* | 64.8 (6.5) | |
| TNF-RII (mfi) | 5.4 (0.8) | 6.2 (0.7) | 6.2 (0.5) | 6.4 (0.3) | |
| TNF-RII (% pos. cells) | 8.1 (2.7) | 9.1 (1.5) | 50.2 (5.2) | 54.8 (7.3) | |
TNF receptor I expression (mean (SEM)) on granulocytes was reduced (*p<0.05) in terms of mean fluorescence intensity (mfi) and percentage of positive (pos.) cells.
