Fig. 2. Levels of CD39-expressing lymphocytes in the peripheral blood and tumor tissue of patients with CRR
Note: * — represents significant differences at p < 0.05.
Fig. 3. Changes in the levels of CD39 mRNA in the peripheral blood leukocytes of patients with CRC and AP (relative to GAPDH mRNA)
Note: * — represents significant differences from the controls at p < 0.05; data are presented as М ± SE.
Table 1. Percentage of major lymphocyte subsets in the peripheral blood of healthy donors, patients with CRC and patients with AP from the total number of lymphocytes
Note: * — represents significant differences from the controls, p < 0.05; # — represents significant differences from patients with stages I and II CRC, p < 0.05.
Table 2. Expression of ectonucleotidase C39 in the subset of CD4+ Т cells isolated from patients with CRC presented as percentage from the total number of CD4+ Т cells
Note: * — represents significant differences from the controls; ** — represents significant differences from the controls and patients with stages I and II CRC; # — represents significant differences from the peripheral blood lymphocytes of the same patients with CRC.
