Table 1 Non-parametric correlations among the frequency of CD39+ cells in the CD3+ CD4+ CD25high CD127low FoxP3+ population and EDSS score (only in patients), Th1 and Th17 effector, and regulatory responses, and CD39 ecto-ATPase activity.

From: Peripheral CD39-expressing T regulatory cells are increased and associated with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis in relapsing patients
