Frequency of DM-sensitive T-cell reactivity among CD4+ T-cell libraries generated from naïve (TN), central memory (TCM), effector memory (TEM) and effector memory RA (TEMRA) T-cells
| Epstein-Barr virus | Cytomegalovirus | P value | |
| TN | 31% (56/183) | 6% (6/100) | <0.001 |
| TCM | 36% (75/210) | 6% (9/162) | <0.001 |
| TEM | 27% (74/274) | 0% (0/102) | <0.001 |
| TEMRA | 26% (66/251) | 6% (7/122) | <0.001 |
Depicted are percentages and absolute numbers of T-cell lines with DM-sensitive properties in relation to all reactive T-cell lines. Significance was calculated using Pearson’s χ2 test or Fisher’s exact test for small numbers (TEM).
