Fig. 2From: Decrease of peripheral blood mucosal‐associated invariant T cells and impaired serum Granzyme-B production in patients with gastric cancerProportion and absolute number of MAIT cells in GC and HC. Total of 87 GC patients (49 cases with chemotherapy, 38 cases without chemotherapy) and 56 HC, which gender- and age-matched, provided the research samples. In addition, 16 samples were obtained from GC patients to determine the percentage of MAIT cells among CD3+ total T cells before and after chemotherapy. The CD3+TCRγδ−Vα7.2+CD161+ MAIT cells were determined by fluorescent assays. a Differences in the proportion and absolute number of MAIT cells (104/ml) in peripheral blood from GC patients and healthy controls. Moreover, the proportion and absolute number of MAIT cells (104/ml) from GC patients’ peripheral blood were compared with or without chemotherapy. b Frequency and absolute number of MAIT cells in the same GC patients before and after chemotherapyBack to article page
