  1. aNonfractionated (total) T cells and purified populations of αβ+ and γδ+ cells were isolated from segments of noninvolved (N) and involved (I) colonic mucosa. Frequency of Vδ1-expressing cells in γδ T cell preparations is shown in parentheses.
  2. bFrequency of cells that after hybridization in situ with anti-sense probe were overlayed with more than 5 grains.
