Figure 1

Free Ig and Ig-coated bacteria in fecal samples obtained from patients with IBD and HCs. (a) Box plot showing the concentration of fecal free Ig from HCs (n = 12), UC patients (n = 20), and CD patients (n = 22). The median (the bars in the boxes) concentrations of fecal free Ig are shown. (b) Box plot showing the flow cytometry analysis results for the ratio of each Ig-coated bacteria from HCs (n = 11), UC patients (n = 19), and CD patients (n = 21). The median (the bars in the boxes) concentrations of fecal free Ig are shown. The brackets indicate significant differences (Wilcoxon rank-sum test. p-values are shown *< 0.05, **< 0.005. The student’s t-test. p-values are shown †< 0.05, ††< 0.005). HC Healthy control, UC ulcerative colitis, CD Crohn’s disease.
