Fig. 2From: Persistent deficiency of mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells during alcohol-related liver diseaseCirculating MAIT cell frequency correlated with liver function. A Spearman correlation between mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cell percentages among CD3+T cells in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis, and levels of aspartate transaminase (AST), γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT), total bilirubin (TBIL), and albumin (ALB) (n = 29); B Spearman correlation between MAIT percentages among CD3+T cells in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis and those with mixed cirrhosis, and levels of AST, GGT, TBIL, and ALB (n = 60); C Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of the diagnostic value of MAIT cell frequency in cirrhosis (AUC = 0.703, CI = 0.619–0.788, P < 0.001); D Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of the diagnostic value of MAIT cell frequency for the severity of cirrhosis(Child–Pugh B/C)( AUC = 0.687,CI = 0.53–0.845,P = 0.028)Back to article page
