Figure 2. Frequencies of γδ T cells in the peripheral blood of cancer patients.
Freshly isolated PBMCs from 20 HCs, 15 patients with gastric cancer, 34 patients with colon cancer, 13 patients with lung cancer, 13 patients with breast cancer, 6 patients with liver cancer and 18 patients with thyroid cancer were stained with APC-Alexa Fluor 750-conjugated anti-CD3 and FITC-conjugated anti-TCR γδ mAbs and then analyzed by flow cytometry. A. Percentages of γδ T cells. B. Absolute γδ T cell numbers (per microliter of blood). Symbols (•) represent individual subjects; horizontal bars show the median.
