Figure 3.
Increased absolute numbers of CD4+CD25+ and CD8+CD25+ T cells are present in PBSC grafts of SCT patients with GVHD. Increased absolute numbers of CD4+CD25+ and CD8+CD25+ T cells were present in donor PBSC grafts of recipients who experienced GVHD (•) compared with those who did not (○). Values were calculated using actual infused cell doses of CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ T cells and quantitation of CD25 expression on donor graft T cells as assessed by flow cytometry. All P values were obtained using the Mann-Whitney U test.
