Inflammatory level at different time points after MI. Rats were sacrificed at different times following MI surgery. a Flow cytometry analysis of T cell populations and subtype polarization from the spleen and blood 3, 5, 7, and 14 days after MI. Real-time PCR showed transcription factors of T cell subtype (b) and inflammatory factors (c) from the heart border and infarct zone, n = 4. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, as indicated, ANOVA. Each experiment was performed three times
