Day 8 expression of cell surface markers (mean fluorescence intensity [MFI]) was correlated with effector function (tumour necrosis factor [TNF]-α production from monocytes in cytokine-activated T [Tck] cell:monocyte co-culture) using nonparametric (Spearman) correlation analysis. Results are expressed as correlation values (r) and level of significance. | |||
