Data obtained by FACS analysis after intracellular cytokine staining at day +100 post-transplant

Lymphoid subpopulation	Day +100 in % (CR vs. Non-CR before HSCT)	P values
CD3 IFNγ	60 ± 7 vs. 40 ± 5	NS (0.05)
CD8 IFNγ	46 ± 7 vs. 20 ± 6	0.02
CD3 CD45RO IFNγ	82 ± 8 vs. 40 ± 5	0.007

IFNγ production in T-cells in patients who were in CR pre-SCT vs. patients who had detectable disease before transplantation was compared. The data depict the percentage of cytokine-positive cells in the respective T-cell subpopulation. Patients who were in CR pre-transplantation showed higher expressions of IFNγ, especially in CD8-positive and CD45RO-positive cells, on day +100 post-transplantation
