Histopathological analysis of infiltrating T cell subsets in acute T cell-mediated rejection in the kidney transplant

Figure 2 T cell subsets infiltrating kidney tissue, including %CD4⁺ cells (A), %CD8⁺ cells (B), %CD19⁺ cells (C), granzyme B⁺ cells/mm² (D), IL-17⁺ cells/mm² (E) and Foxp3⁺ cells/mm² (F) (all detected by immunohistochemistry) are compared between patients with acute T cell-mediated rejection in the kidney transplant (n = 14) and patients with no rejection (n = 7). The horizontal lines indicate the median values. Wilcoxon rank-sum test P values for all comparisons were statistically non-significant. ATCMR: Acute T cell-mediated rejection; CTL: Cytotoxic T lymphocyte.
