Alteration in blood DC counts in surgery and exercise.

Time course of DC count (line graph, left axis) and DC number (percentage of MNCs, bar graph, right axis) in (A) patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (n = 26), (B) healthy individuals at equivalent time points to the patient group (n = 9), and (C) healthy volunteers during exercise (n = 5). Each point represents the mean value with the error bars showing SEM. (**P < .01, *P = .05).
