Averages and standard deviations of the percentages of apoptotic cells within each subset (CD4 T cells or T-LGLL cells) were calculated. Average (of the % apoptotic cells within each subset) at given day of the treatment was compared with that of day 1 (pretreatment) and Student t test was performed to determine the P values to see whether the difference was significant (P < .05, shown in italic).

Numbers given in the table are the P values of each comparison.

Apoptotic percentages in the T-LGLL subset showed a significant difference from that at pretreatment at all times during treatment, whereas apoptotic death of CD4 T cells showed no significant deviation from that at pretreatment.

During the washout period, apoptotic death of T-LGLL subsided to the baseline level at pretreatment.

SEM, standard error of the mean.
