a The effect of pembrolizumab on the expression of cytolytic markers (GZMB, CD107a and PRF1) in CD103-CD8+ T cells and CD103-CD8+ T cells from gastric cancer tissue samples (n = 12). b The effect of pembrolizumab on the expression of effector cytokines (IFN-γ, TNF-α and IL-2) in CD103-CD8+ T cells and CD103-CD8+ T cells from gastric cancer tissue samples (n = 12). c The effect of pembrolizumab on the proliferation capacity of CD103-CD8+ T cells and CD103-CD8+ T cells from gastric cancer tissue samples (n = 12). d Association of CD103+CD8+ T cell frequencies with the change in apoptotic (left panel) and proliferative (right panel) tumour cells induced by pembrolizumab in gastric cancer tissue samples (n = 12). Bar plots show the mean ± SD; GZMB granzyme B, IFN-γ interferon gamma, PRF1 perforin, IL-2 interleukin-2. Bar plots show the mean ± SD. Significance was assessed by paired t-test. n.s. not significant.
