n, number of anti-CD3/CD28-stimulated cells (not including transient responders). Transient responders are reported as a percentage of all cells (stimulated and unstimulated). These cells did not sustain high Ca2+ levels when stimulated, but rapidly returned to baseline without experimental provocation. Hence, they were excluded from hypoxia analysis.
