The time- and dose- dependent responses between T-peptide and the proliferative activity of splenic CD4⁺CD25⁻ T cells.

The results showed the effects of various doses of T-peptide on the proliferative activity of CD4⁺CD25⁻ T cells at 12 hours (a), 24 hours (b) and 48 hours (c), respectively. Data were represented as mean ± standard deviation (SD) and analyzed by software of SPSS 17.0 with a one-way ANOVA, n = 4 per group. Statistically significant difference as compared with the control groups, (*)P < 0.05, (**)P < 0.01; Statistically significant difference as compared with the 1 μg/ml T-peptide groups, (#)P < 0.01; Statistically significant difference as compared with the 10 μg/ml T-peptide groups, (&)P < 0.01.
