CCR2+, CCR5+, CXCR3+ and CXCR6+ CD4+ T-cell populations are significantly enriched in patient glioblastoma compared to peripheral blood. (A) Representative histograms showing chemokine receptor expression within CD4+ T-cell subsets in glioblastoma (GBM) (coloured) and naïve CD4+ T cells in matched blood samples (grey). Also see Supplementary Figure 4 for additional blood CD4+ T-cell subsets. Representative of matched blood and GBM samples n=5-8 each. (B–I) Proportions of CD4+ T-cell subsets in blood and matched GBM biopsies expressing (B) CCR2, (C) CCR4, (D) CCR5, (E) CCR6, (F) CXCR3, (G) CXCR4, (H) CXCR6 and (I) CX3CR1. Each dot represents one patient, lines represent paired patient sample. Two-tailed paired Student’s t test, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001, nd=not detected.
