CD4hiCD8low Double-Positive T Cells Are Associated with Graft Rejection in a Nonhuman Primate Model of Islet Transplantation

Figure 5

The TEM subpopulation of DP T cells in monkeys that rejected grafts increased markedly, as did the TEM subpopulation of CD8 cells. The subpopulations of CD4, CD8, and DP T cells were examined in (a) the long-term graft survival group (; age, 54–72 months) and (b) the graft rejection group (; aged between 54 and 72 months). Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. . TN: naïve T cells; TCM: central memory T cells; TEM: effector memory T cells.
