CD4 + CTLs are the most expanded CD4 + T cell subset in COVID-19 lungs.

(A) Representative multi-color immunofluorescence images of CD4 (red), SLAMF7 (green) and DAPI (blue) staining in a lung from a COV-19 patient. Arrows indicate SLAMF7+ CD4 + CTLs. (B) Absolute numbers and relative proportions of SLAMF7+ CD4 + CTLs in lungs from early (purple) (n = 8) and late (blue) (n = 8) COV-19 patients and non-COV-19 patients (green) (n = 6). (C) Representative multi-color immunofluorescence images of CD4 (red), CX3CR1 (green) and DAPI (blue) staining in a lung from a COV-19 patient. (D) Absolute numbers and relative proportions of CX3CR1+ CD4 + CTLs in lungs from early (purple) (n = 8) and late (blue) (n = 8) COV-19 patients and non-COV-19 patients (green) (n = 6). Multiple comparisons are controlled for by Kruskal-Wallis test. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.
