Fig. 4.

Effect of anti-rejection therapy on total dendritic cell (DC) count (a), myeloid DC count (b) and plasmacytoid DC count (c). The dotted curve represents the mean (± s.e.m.) DC number of patients not treated for acute rejection (n = 17), whereas the straight curve represents patients who received treatment for acute rejection (n = 7). Arrows indicate the start of anti-rejection therapy (straight arrows indicate methylprednisolone treatment, whereas the dotted arrow indicates the start of rATG administration). *P < 0·05.
