Serial Assessment of Immune Status by Circulating CD8+ Effector T Cell Frequencies for Posttransplant Infectious Complications
Figure 5
Changes in % difference in CD8+ naive, CM, EM, and effector T cells, as well as IFN-, perforin, and CD27−CD28− subsets after LDLT in same recipient shown in Figure 4. Low (c), scatter plot between % E difference and % effector T cell proportion. 1st phase is the period before Tac administration. 2nd phase is the period after Tac administration. Pre, pre-LDLT; Tac, tacrolimus; the number above black circles in (c) figure, postoperative days. (a) N, naive T cells; E, effector T cells; CM, central memory T cells; and EM, effector memory T cells. (b) IFN-, interferon-gamma; and CD27−CD28−, CD27−CD28− subsets. (c) HAI, hepatic artery flow interruption.
