Different leukocyte populations in decidua parietalis and basalis. (a) OPLS-DA observation plot displaying a separation between leukocytes from decidua basalis and parietalis. (b) OPLS plot following a variable influence on projection (VIP) of 0.98, showing associations between decidual compartment and phenotypic leukocyte markers (n = 8–13 for (a, b)). (c) Distribution of major leukocyte subsets in paired samples of decidua basalis and parietalis compared with the nonparametric Wilcoxon test. Line in graphs depicts the median among values (n = 11-12). (d) Representative flow cytometry plots showing the initial gating strategy used throughout the paper, as well as the gating of the subsets in (c). ∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p < 0.001.
