Fig 1. T cell subsets in Orientia-infected mice.

Using the gating strategy (A), we observed that more CD8⁺ T cells (B) than CD4⁺ T cells (C) were induced in wild type C57BL/6J (WT) mice at 12 days post sublethal or lethal Orientia infection. PBS was used as control inoculum. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. *, p<0.05; **, p<0.01.
