Increase of intestinal Eomes+ T cells in the first year of life. a NK-T cell ratios of infant (white circles) and adult intestines (dark circles, A) in epithelium (EP, yellow circles) and lamina propria (LP, blue squares) (infant EP samples (N = 9) and LP samples (N = 10), adult EP and LP samples (N = 11). b Frequencies of epithelium and lamina propria-derived Eomes+ NK (turquoise circles) and Eomes+ T cells (violet triangles) within the total lymphocyte pool at different ages (infant EP and LP samples (N = 7) and adult EP and LP samples (N = 10)). Median frequencies indicated by red lines. Error bars define interquartile ranges between 75th and 25th percentiles. Statistical comparisons are Mann-Whitney U comparisons. Asterisks represent the following p-values: **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; and ****p < 0.0001
