FIGURE 3.
Immunosuppression (IS) suppresses host antiviral T cell responses following transplant. Cells from D+/R− kidney allografts with IS (w/IS) or without IS (wo/IS) (n = 4-6/group) were isolated and analyzed at postoperative (POD)7 for the frequency of viral specific T cells MHC-mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) by using m38 tetramer (Kb-m38) staining. A, Representative dot-plot showing the percentage of MCMV-specific CD8 T cells (gated on CD3+CD44+ cells). B, Absolute number in the transplanted kidneys wo/IS or w/IS; **P <.01. Naive B6 kidneys were controls
