Table 1. Tm and Th0 subpopulations of CD4+ and CD8+ in blood and AF of OC patients
Note. * — significant differences from blood of healthy donors (p < 0.05); ** — significant differences from blood of patients (p < 0.05). Hereinafter, in tables 2–4 reliability of the differences was calculated through the Wilcoxon test.

Note. * — significant differences from AF (р < 0.05).
Table 3. Dynamics of Tm and Th0 levels, blood of OC patients, treatment and control groups
Note. * — significant differences from the parameters of the treatment group after full ChIT course (p < 0.05).
Table 4. Dynamics of Tcm and Tem levels, blood of OC patients, treatment and control groups
Note. * — significant differences from values seen before treatment (p < 0.05); ** — significant differences from the corresponding values of the control group (p < 0.05).
