The data are represented as scatter plots with each circle representing a single individual. P values were calculated using the Spearman rank correlation.</p> 2014-11-13 03:37:44 tgf burdens.ConclusionOur data PTB individuals TB antigen ifn cytokine levels cytokine responsiveness Dysregulated Cytokine Responses Pulmonary Tuberculosis BackgroundCytokines pdm cytokine milieu type 2 type 1 HbA 1c levels tnf il cytokine interactions
