Table 2. Correlational analyses between PD1+ICOS+ Tfh-like subsets and memory B cells.

Fold changes in different Tfh-like subsets (indicated as Tfh1, Tfh2, and Tfh17) at D7 over the pre-vaccinated time points were compared to the fold changes in the memory B cells at the indicated days (over the pre-vaccinated time points).

a r indicates correlation coefficient from Spearman rank correlation analyses; p indicates p value from the Spearman correlational rank analyses.

b NS, not significant.

c The frequencies of Tfh17 subsets in some subjects were 0% at the baseline; therefore, we could not analyze some of the subjects. For the Tfh1 and 2 subsets, 10 subjects for Gardasil were compared, and it was 8 for Cervarix at D7, 14, and 30. For the other 3 time points, the numbers ranged 5–8 in both groups
