Ocular mucous membrane pemphigoid is characterized by a reduction in the dominant CD8αβ+ T-cell population and elevation in the CD4:CD8 ratio. (A) Representative plots demonstrating the gating strategy to determine conjunctival leukocytes from ocular surface impression cytology (OSIC). Comparisons were undertaken by comparing the most inflamed eye in patients with ocular mucous membrane pemphigoid (OcMMP, n = 57) versus the right eye of healthy controls (HC, n = 21) and patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS, n = 19) (B). Three-group comparisons were undertaken by the Kruskal-Wallis test (NS, not significant; *P = 0.01–0.05; **P = 0.001–0.01; ***P < 0.001).
