Figure 1. Repopulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells after renal allograft transplantation.

Figure 1

The absolute cell counts and subsets were analyzed by polychromatic flow cytometry. Leukocytes and granulocyte absolute numbers remain unchanged post-transplantation. Monocyte absolute counts decrease transiently within first month post-transplantation. In contrast, profound T cell (CD3+) and B cell (CD3-CD20+) depletion is achieved following alemtuzumab induction. T cell repopulation remained lethargic; however, B cells show rapid repopulation, with absolute numbers exceeding baseline values at 6 months post-transplantation.
