Time course of peripheral blood naïve T cell recovery in rhesus macaques following 6.00 Gy total-body x-irradiation (mean values ± standard error). Samples were obtained on selected days (n = 14 on day 0, n = 1-8 day 7 to day 35, n = 10-14 day 42 to day 370, n = 5-8 on day 400 to day 550, n = 3 on day 580 to day 700) following TBI. Whole blood was stained with fluorescently tagged antiCD3, antiCD45RA, antiCD62L and either antiCD4 or antiCD8 antibodies, red blood cells were lysed, and T cell naïve subsets (CD3+CD4+CD45RA+CD62L+ cells μL-1 or CD3+CD8+CD45RA+CD62L+ cells μL-1) were identified using a flow cytometer quantified and plotted.
