T-cell apoptosis in freshly isolated whole blood and following separation of mononuclear cells

	Apoptosis among CD3⁺T cells, %
	Whole blood	PBMCs
Patients, n = 23	2.9 ± 1.5^*	4.0 ± 2.3^*,^†
	(0.6-5.7)	(1.5-10.3)
Controls, n = 12	1.7 ± 0.8	1.5 ± 0.8

	Apoptosis among CD3⁺T cells, %
	Whole blood	PBMCs
Patients, n = 23	2.9 ± 1.5^*	4.0 ± 2.3^*,^†
	(0.6-5.7)	(1.5-10.3)
Controls, n = 12	1.7 ± 0.8	1.5 ± 0.8

We studied 23 patients 20-28 days after transplantation. The percent of apoptosis plus or minus SD was measured within 6 hours of phlebotomy. The range is indicated in parentheses.

Indicates that P < .05 compared with controls.

Indicates that P < .05 compared with whole blood.
