Single administration of hIL-7-hyFc has no significant effect on Treg cell expansion. (A) Gating strategy for Treg cells, frequency of Treg cells among CD4+ T cells, and absolute counts of Tregs. Each value of cohorts and placebo are shown as mean (± standard error of the mean) at the indicated time points. (B) Upper plots display the difference in Ki-67 expression among Tregs (Foxp3+CD127−/loCD25+ CD4+; red) and Foxp3−CD4+ (blue) T cells. Bottom plots display the difference in Ki-67 expression among Treg cells (red), CD4+ T cells (blue), and CD8+ T cells (green). For each cohort, the frequency of Ki-67+ cells in each T-cell subset is shown. P values were calculated with a Friedman one-way ANOVA test. ∗∗P < .01, ∗P < .05; ns, not significant.
