Figure 3

Representative surrogate T cell subsets in peripheral blood of a patient with primary MCD. CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg cells (a), CD4+CD161+ Th17 cells (b), CD4+CD45RA- memory T cells (c), CD4+CD45RA+ naïve T cells (d), CD8+CD45RA- memory T cells (e), CD8+CD45RA+ naïve T cells (f), CD3+CD56+ NKT cells (g), CD3-CD56+ NK cells (h), CD3+TCRd1+ gamma-delta T cells (i), CD3+TCRd2+ gamma-delta T cells (j), and CD4-CD161+TCRa7.2+ MAIT cells (k) were detected by 20-colour flow cytometry, using the appropriate antibodies as described in the methods section.
