  1. P value (1) represents two-tailed P values by Fisher’s exact test between the first row (the CD38−/−/CD38−/− + GFP pair) and the third, fifth, and sixth row. P value (2) represents two-tailed P value by Fisher’s exact test between the third (the CD38−/− OT/CD38−/− +GFP + OT pair) and the fifth and sixth row. P value (3) represents the value between the fifth and sixth row.
