Figure 4

CD8 T cells show greater susceptibility to apoptosis than CD4 T cells. The percentage of cells in different stages of apoptosis was evaluated for CD4 and CD8 T cell populations. (A) Percentage of CD4 lymphocytes in early stages of apoptosis (Annexin V+, 7AAD-) and (B) late stages of apoptosis (Annexin V+, 7AAD+); (C) CD8 lymphocytes in early stages of apoptosis (Annexin V+, 7AAD-) and (D) late stages of apoptosis (Annexin V+, 7AAD+). Shaded region indicates control condition as described in Figure 3.
