Expression of surface markers CD4 (Panel A), CD8 (Panel B) and CD86 (Panel C) induced by peripheral blood mononuclear cells stimulated with faecal samples from active CD patients, symptom-free (SF) CD patients and healthy controls. Results are expressed as mean ± SD of duplicate measurements determined in four independent experiments. Significant differences between means were established by ANOVA with post hoc Fisher's least significant difference (LSD) test at P < 0.05. NS, not significant.
