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.
