Fig. 3: Most activated and degranulating CD8+ T cells in the liver are tissue-resident.
(A) Frequency of HDV-specific CD8+ T cells in liver and blood.
(B) Flt-SNE visualization of the distribution of HDV-specific CD8+ T cells (black dots) relative to total blood (left panel) and liver CD8+ T cells (right panel).
(C, D) Activated (left) and degranulating (right) HDV-specific CD8+ T cells (C) and total CD8+ T cells (D) were assessed for markers of liver residency (CD69 and CXCR6).
Statistics: Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test, Friedman test with Dunn’s multiple comparisons test. FIt-SNE: Fast Fourier Transform-accelerated Interpolation-based t-Stochastic Neighbor Embedding.
