  1. Values are expressed as median and interquartile range (IQR). For total T cells, total NK cells, CD3+CD56+ T cells and B cells, values are given as percent of lymphocytes and for CD4+ and CD8+ T cells as a percentage of CD3+ cells. For NK subsets, values are presented as percent of NK cells. Regulatory T cells, CD4+CD28null and CD4+CD69+ cells are expressed as a percentage of CD3+CD4+, and CD8+CD69+ as a percentage of CD3+CD8+ lymphocytes. Comparing IC and PB samples, there were significant differences in CD4+CD28null, CD3CD56CD16+ and B cell subpopulations
