TIM-3 and TIM-1 Could Regulate Decidual γδTCR Bright T Cells during Murine Pregnancy

Figure 3

The two γδT cell subsets. Density of γδTCR on CD4- (a) and CD8- (b) positive or negative γδT cells presented as boxplots. The middle line of the boxplots represents the median, the lower box bound the first quartile, and the upper box bound the third quartile. The 95% confidence interval of the mean is represented by whiskers. Each boxplot represents results of at least five independent experiments. (c) Representative dotplots and histograms of all sampled tissues, gated on CD45+ cells. Gamma/delta TCR-PE positivity is represented by the logarithmic -axis. CD4-FITC and CD8-FITC positivity is shown on the respective logarithmic -axis. Related histograms presenting CD4+ or CD4- (CD8+ or CD8-, respectively) γδT cells. Gamma/delta TCR-PE positivity is represented by the logarithmic -axis. NP: nonpregnant mice, P: pregnant mice.
