Exhausted and Senescent T Cells at the Maternal-Fetal Interface in Preterm and Term Labor

Figure 2

Proportions of exhausted and senescent CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ decidual T cells within the effector memory subsets. (a) Flow cytometry gating strategy used to identify exhausted and senescent decidual CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells within the naïve, central memory (T_CM), effector memory (T_EM), and terminally differentiated effector memory (T_EMRA) subsets. (b) Proportions of exhausted CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells within the naïve, T_CM, T_EM, and T_EMRA subsets in the decidua basalis and decidua parietalis. (c) Proportions of senescent CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells within the naïve, T_CM, T_EM, and T_EMRA subsets in the decidua basalis and decidua parietalis. . Data are shown as the means with a standard error of the mean.
