Chronic alcohol consumption increases NK cell apoptosis in the spleen. Mice were given alcohol for 3 months. Each group contained 10 mice. The apoptosis of CD3-NK1.1+ cells was measured by Annexin V staining and flow cytometry analysis. (A & B) Representative histograms of Annexin V+ cells in gated CD3-NK1.1+ cells isolated from water-drinking mice and alcohol-consuming mice, respectively. (C) Percentage of Annexin V+ cells in gated CD3-NK1.1+ cells. Values are mean ± SD. **p < 0.001. The data are from a representative experiment that was repeated 3 times with similar results. ETOH, alcohol-consuming group.
