The data were generated to address whether BCG vaccination can modulate donor unrestricted T cells by performing immunological analyses using flow cytometry on PBMC samples collected from infants and adults in clinical studies completed previously (doi: 10.4049/jimmunol.1501996). The results are published in Gela (2021) - Effects of BCG vaccination on donor unrestricted T cells in humans.
`data_tidy_gela_durt.zip` is the source code to compile the R package `DataTidyGelaDURT`, which provides the following datasets:
- data_tidy_freq_ifng: Background-subtracted frequencies of IFNg+ cells for various subsets.
- data_tidy_freq: Frequencies of major cell populations
- data_tidy_hladr_adult: HLADR mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) by cell type for infants.
- data_tidy_hladr_infant: HLADR mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) by cell type for infants.
- data_tidy_mem: Frequency of memory phenotype relative to the parent population.
- Note that the package is also available at https://github.com/SATVILab/DataTidyGelaDURT (where any issues can be raised as well).
