Fig 5. BAL but not pbmc Treg frequency correlates with rejection score in a longitudinal assessment.

Fig 5

For all patients with a year of follow-up and at least 5 BAL specimens and at least 4 pbmc specimens the mean Treg frequency was calculated. The cumulative rejection score was calculated as the total A-score and B-score for all transbronchial biopsies performed in the first year. There was a strong correlation between mean BAL treg frequency and rejection score (R2= .44, p<.001). There was no correlation between mean pbmc Treg frequency and rejection score (R2=.0005, p=0.8).
