Naïve (Tn) and memory T cells (Tmem) in the peripheral blood (PB) before and after Alemtuzumab infusion. Blood samples were drawn from the heart graft recipient cynomolgus monkeys (n=6) before Alemtuzumab (baseline), on the day of transplant (day 0; 2 days after the first Alemtuzumab infusion), then weekly and monthly thereafter. After gating on CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ cells, Tn (CD95−) and Tmem (CD95+) subsets were enumerated. (A) Absolute numbers of CD3+, CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ T cells (left), and percentages (%) of total CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ T cells (right) in PB. (B) Flow cytometric analysis of Tn (CD95−) and Tmem (CD95+) in PB at various times, before and after Alemtuzumab infusion. (C) Absolute number and percentage (%) of baseline of CD4+ (upper) and CD8+ (lower) Tn (CD95−) and Tmem (CD95+) subsets, before and after Alemtuzumab infusion.
