<i>M</i>. <i>Leprae</i>/HIV-1 co-infection led to a decrease of circulating ILC1 cells.

Abstract

<p><i>A</i>, gate strategy used to define group 1 and group 3 innate lymphoid cells based on the production of TNF-α and IL-17 by Lin<sup>-</sup>CD45<sup>+</sup>CD56<sup>+</sup> cells. <i>B</i>, Frequencies of TNF-α-producing cells, defined as ILC1 cells, from healthy (n = 10), <i>M</i>. <i>leprae</i>-infected (n = 6), HIV-1-infected (n = 10) and co-infected (n = 10) patients. <i>C</i>, Frequencies of IL-17-producing cells, defined as ILC3 cells, from healthy (n = 10), <i>M</i>. <i>leprae</i>-infected (n = 6), HIV-1-infected (n = 10) and co-infected (n = 10) patients. Each dot represents an individual, and bars indicate medians in the graphs. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. * p<0.05; ** p<0.001; ***p<0.0001.</p
