Fig 2. Recovery of naive and effector/memory T lymphocytes after sepsis.

Fig 2

Mice were injected with PBS i.p. (Sham) or subjected to sepsis induction (PCI) or sepsis-induction plus IL-7 treatment (PCI + IL-7). At the indicated time points between d8 and d113 after PCI at least 6 mice per group were sacrificed and spleen cells analyzed by flow cytometry. (A) CD3+CD4+ T cells and CD3+CD8+ T cells were analyzed for their expression of CD62L and CD44 and categorized as naive cells (CD62LhiCD44-) or effector/memory cells (CD44+CD62L- or CD44+CD62L+). (B-C) Longitudinal analysis of numbers and frequencies of (B) naive and effector/memory CD4+ T cells or (C) naive and effector/memory CD8+ cytotoxic T cells.
