Figure 4

Effects of neonatal BCG on cell subsets reflecting T cell homeostasis and immune regulation. In the left column, dot plots illustrating % of CD 4+ effector memory cells, horizontal line representing the geometric mean (A), % of CD 4+ late differentiated cells (B), % of CD 4+ apoptotic cells (C), and CD19 + CD24^high + CD38^high cells (D) at 3 time points in BCG vaccinated infants and controls. The right column illustrates geometric mean ratio (GMR) of the cell phenotypes at all three time points (error bars depict 95% confidence intervals) except for D which shows % of CD19 + CD24^high + CD38^high in females.
