Table 1. Distribution of T cells subsets based on CD3, CD4, CD8 amongst melanoma patients PBMC and tumor associated lymphocytes and healthy donor PBMC.
FREQUENCY | ||||
Cell origin | CD3+ | CD4+ | CD8+ | CD4+CD8+ |
PBMC | ||||
healthy donors (n = 11) | 70,5+/−6,3 | 46+/−10 | 9.5+/−9 | 0.9+/−0.6 |
melanoma patients (n = 6) | 68,5+/−7,1 | 51.1+/−6 | 14.9+/−3 | 0.6+/−0.2 |
Melanoma Associated Lymphocytes | ||||
ILNL (n = 30) | 99,9+/−0,2* | 31.1+/−26 | 54.2+/−25*** | 4.2+/−5.6 |
TIL (n = 10) | 98,4+/−9,1* | 35,3+/−26 | 50,3+/−26** | 9,5+/−8,3** |
Results are expressed as median fraction of cells expressing the marker(s) +/− SD among total cells. Significant differences were evaluated by comparison with similar cell fractions among melanoma cancer patient PBMC using the Tukey-Kramer's test. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001.
