Alteration of percentages of peripheral blood T lymphocytes subtypes in SHRs. a – Representative flow cytometric analysis showing percentages of circulating T-lymphocyte subtypes in the peripheral blood of 20 spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and 20 age-matched Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. Fresh, resting PBMCs from SHRs and WKY rats were stained with antibodies against CD3, CD4, CD8 and CD25 molecules and analyzed using flow cytometry. b – Proportion of CD4+, CD8+ and CD25+ T cells expressing CD4+ in the peripheral blood of SHRs and WKY rats. The vertical axis represents the frequency of various T lymphocyte subtypes. Quantitative analysis of the mean percentage of cells ± SEM. **p < 0.01, compared with the WKY rats (n = 20)
