The phenotypic characteristics of polymorphonuclear neutrophils and their correlation with B cell and CD4+T cell subsets in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy
In the present study, we found that the percentage of PMN and PMN subset cells was significantly higher in TAO than in NC, and PMN were positively correlated with Th17 cells. It suggests that PMN may be involved in the immunopathogenesis of TAO and modulate the Th17 cell response during this process.
