Figure 7. Reduced frequency of CMV-specific T cells derived from the menstrual blood.

PBMC and MBC from the same women were stimulated with overlapping peptides from CMV pp65 or CMV lysate and stained for IFN-γ. Individual symbols represent paired samples from the same individual. Open symbols represent CD8 T cell responses, closed symbols represent CD4 T cell responses and gray symbols are responses from the healthy volunteer. Statistical comparisons were made using Wilcoxon Signed Rank test.
