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

Figure 3

Correlations between exhausted or senescent CD4+ and CD8+ decidual T cells and gestational age. The correlations between gestational age and the proportions of exhausted or senescent CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the decidua basalis (a–d) and decidua parietalis (e–h). The red line represents locally weighted scatter plot smoothing (LOESS) estimating the average cell percentages as a function of gestational age (weeks). The correlations were assessed using a Spearman’s correlation test. Correlation coefficients and values are shown for each plot.
