Validation of Cytomegalovirus Immune Competence Assays for the Characterization of CD8⁺ T Cell Responses Posttransplant

Figure 2

Results of CMV-related immune competence assays in two patients treated with autologous HSCT. Absolute counts of CD8⁺ T cells (a); CMV tetramer-specific CD8⁺ T cells (Tet⁺) (b); Tet⁺ IFN-γ-producing cells (c); Tet⁺ CD107a/b⁺ cells (d) are shown per microliter of blood. Results are presented for CMV-specific HLA-A*01:01 tetramer (A1-VTE), and HLA-B*08:01 tetramer (B8-ELR). Baseline counts correspond to results before transplantation.
