Correlation between ASC and CD4⁺ T cell subsets.

<p>(A) Correlation of ASCs with memory Tfh cells in CSF of patients with MS, HAM/TSP, HIV and PML using Spearman’s rank correlation test. (B) Correlation of ASCs with CD4⁺CD25⁺ T cells in CSF of patients with HAM/TSP and PML using Spearman’s rank correlation test. (C) Comparison of frequency of CD4⁺CD25⁺ T cells and ASCs in CSF of HAM/TSP patients between non-progressors and progressors using Mann-Whitney Test. The horizontal line represents the mean. (D) Correlation of ASCs in CSF B cells with disease duration in HAM/TSP patients (n = 32) using Spearman’s rank correlation test.
