FIG. 2.

Vβ TCR repertoire of lung T cells in CBA/J mice after C. neoformans infection. The absolute number (A, C, and E) of T cells expressing each Vβ subset and the increase compared to uninfected control lungs (B, D, and F) are shown. Mice were infected intratracheally with 10⁴ CFU of C. neoformans. CD4⁺ T cells were recovered from the lungs of infected mice at weeks 3 (A and B) and 5 (E and F) postinfection, and CD8 T cells were recovered from the lungs of infected mice at week 3 postinfection (C and D). Each bar represents a single animal, and the numbers indicate the mean for each group.
