Evaluation of EBV- and HCMV-Specific T Cell Responses in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Patients Using a Normalized Enzyme-Linked Immunospot (ELISPOT) Assay

Figure 3

EBV-specific T cell response as net spots/million PBMCs (a) was evaluated in patients with undetectable EBV DNA () and detectable EBV DNA (). Results were also normalized to CD4⁺ T cell (b) and CD8⁺ T cell (c) and presented as EBV-specific CD4⁺ or CD8⁺ IFN-γ⁺ T cells/μl. values were calculated with the Mann-Whitney test.
