Comparison of distribution of cytokine receptor expression levels for controls (n = 10) and suspected MSMD patients. A IFN-γR/CD119 percentage expression on unstimulated PBMCs for controls and patients on various cell subsets; B IL-12Rβ1/CD212, percentage expression on PHA pre-stimulated PBMCs for controls and patients on various cell subsets. The box-and-whiskers plot shows minimum and maximum values at the ends. The 50% confidence interval (25th to 75th percentile) are the borders of the box, with the middle line representing the median. Each dot represents a patient or control value. There were no significant differences in receptor expression levels between the controls and the patient group, however, the patient results should rather be considered on a case-by-case manner due to the diversity in clinical presentation of the patients
