Fig. 6: Cervicovaginal IgM and complement positively correlate with pro-inflammatory cytokines in women who are lactobacillus deplete and who deliver preterm.
From: Microbial-driven preterm labour involves crosstalk between the innate and adaptive immune response
In women who are Lactobacillus deplete and who deliver preterm a positive correlation was seen between cervicovaginal complement and cytokines. Concentrations were log transformed and a one-sided Spearman’s correlation was performed between; MBL and IL-8 (a). IL-6 (b), IL-1β (c); IgM and IL-8 (d). IL-6 (e), IL-1β (f); C3b and IL-8 (g), IL-6 (h), IL-1β (I); C5 and IL-8 (j), IL-6 (k), IL-1β (l). n = 28 samples. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
