In LN, the frequencies of Tim-4+ cells in BD mice were significantly higher than those in Nor and BDN mice (Nor versus BDN, versus BD (%): 1.3 ± 0.8 (n = 11) versus 3.2 ± 0.9 (n = 15) versus 5.8 ± 2.0 (n = 15), Nor versus BDN P = 0.000005, Nor versus BD, P = 0.0000001, BDN versus BD P = 0.00003) (Figure 2(a)). This evidence concerns the gene TIMD4 and Behcet disease.
