FIG. 6.

Effects of γδT-cell deficiency on NK cell and CD8⁺ T-cell accumulation in the livers of AdLacZ-infected mice. WT and γδT-cell KO mice were infected with AdLacZ, and hepatic lymphoid cells were isolated 6 days later. Isolated hepatic lymphoid cells were then stained with fluorochrome-labeled NK1.1 MAb and fluorochrome-labeled CD8a MAb and analyzed by flow cytometry to identify accumulation of hepatic NK and CD8⁺ T cells, respectively. The absolute numbers of NK cells and CD8⁺ T cells are shown. All results are presented as means ± SEM (n = 5 or 6 mice per group; *, P ≤ 0.05 versus AdLacZ-infected WT mice).
