Serial Assessment of Immune Status by Circulating CD8+ Effector T Cell Frequencies for Posttransplant Infectious Complications
Figure 3
Changes in % difference in CD8+ naive, CM, EM, and effector T cells after LDLT in a 55-year-old female recipient. Right, scatter plot between % E difference and % effector T cell proportion. A, period associated with acute cellular rejection, infection and liver damage. B, period associated with acute cellular rejection and aspartate aminotransferase elevation. C, aspartate aminotransferase
elevation. White circles denote naive (N), black circles denote effector (E), white triangles denote central memory (CM), black triangles denote effector memory (EM), Pre, pre-LDLT; CsA, cyclosporine A; Tac, tacrolimus; the number below black circles in right figure, postoperative days.
