Figure Lengend Snippet: A IOD of ACAT2 expression in CC tissues and adjacent tissues was examined using immunohistochemical staining ( n = 47 biologically independent samples). IOD of DHCR7 B and MSMO1 C expression in CC patients with high ( n = 27 biologically independent samples) or low ( n = 20 biologically independent samples) expression of ACAT2 was examined using immunohistochemical staining. The number of activated CD8 T cells (CD8A + GZMB + ) D or activated NK cells (CD56 + GZMB + ) E infiltrated in the tumor tissues of patients with high ( n = 27 biologically independent samples) and low ACAT2 ( n = 20 biologically independent samples) expression was detected. Data represent mean ± SEM. Statistical analysis was performed using the paired A or unpaired ( B – E ) t-test.

doi: 10.1128/jvi.02014-25

Figure Lengend Snippet: Expansion of T cells induced by rDEV-dH5/H7 and vDEV. Four-week-old ducks were inoculated i.m. with two doses of 10 5 TCID 50 of rDEV-dH5/H7 or vDEV at a 3-week interval. The percentages of ( A ) CD3 + T cells, ( B ) CD3 + CD8 + T cells, and ( C ) CD3 + CD4 + T cells among the PBMCs were analyzed by flow cytometry. Data are presented as means and plotted with connecting lines. Each data point represents one sample value. The red triangles represent the time points of inoculation.
