a+b IL4+, TGFß1+, IL10+ and IFNy+ NK, NKT and T cell counts in peripheral blood. iRM patients showed higher absolute numbers of NK, NKT and T cells producing IL4 and TGFß1 than female HC, higher absolute numbers of IFNy+ NK and NKT cells than female HC and higher IL4+ and TGFß1+ NK and TGFß1+ and IFNy+ NKT and T cells than female kidney transplant recipients late post-transplant (for all p < 0.050) whereas IL10+ NK cells were similar in all transplant patient groups and female HC (a, b, c and d). Similar trends were observed for the proportions of IL4+ T cells, TGFß1+ NKT cells and IFNy+ NK and NKT lymphocytes (p < 0.050). Nineteen female HC, 15 female ESRD, 14 female renal transplant recipients late and 3 early post-transplant and 33 iRM patients were studied. Data are given as median ± interquartile range
