Effect of different inductive agents on the absolute numbers of T and NK cells in the peripheral blood of kidney transplant recipients during a 1-year follow-up period. Absolute numbers of T cells (a), CD8⁺ T cells (b), NK cells (c), and CD4⁺FOXP3⁺ Tregs (d) measured by flow cytometry in the peripheral blood from patients treated with rATG (squares on dashed line), basiliximab (triangles on dotted line), or without induction (circles on solid line). Data are presented as estimated marginal means ± SEM
