Comparisons between the lymphocyte subpopulation median fluorescence intensities of the skin homing marker CLA at different sampling sites.

Abstract

<p>Lymphocyte subpopulations with comparisons between sampling sites for the CLA median fluorescence intensities with P<.10 are shown for the raw data and in addition for the data after omission of outliers. Comparisons with P>.10 after omission of outliers and with P<.10 for the raw data are also shown. The univariate T/W method shows the P value for the two-sided paired t-test ‘T’ (‘Ln’ when a natural logarithm was applied) or Wilcoxon paired-matched signed rank (‘W’) in case normality didn’t hold. The Bonferroni and Benjamini columns show the adjusted significance levels according to the method applied See Materials & Methods for more information.</p><p>Results annotated with ‘*’ are considered significant for the method applied. <i>Sites</i> comparison between sampling sites; <i>ARD</i> average relative difference; <i>RD</i> radial artery vs. dorsal hand veins; <i>RE</i> radial artery vs. antecubital veins; <i>DE</i> dorsal hand veins vs. antecubital veins; <i>NO</i> no outliers.</p
