Each of the four subsets are mainly in a CD34− CD117− CD94+/− phenotype, among which double negative (DN) and CD27+ single-positive (SP) subsets are the majority of CD56bright CD16− NK cells. (a) Representative flow cytometry analysis of CD34 and CD117 expression on gated CD56+ CD3− decidual natural killer (dNK) cells of the first trimester, cord blood NK (cNK) cells and peripheral blood NK (pNK) cells. Results are representative of five experiments. (b) Representative flow cytometry analysis of CD94 expression on dNK, cNK, pNK and the four subsets of NK cells. Results are representative of five experiments. (c) Frequency of CD56bright CD16− NK cells in total cells and in each subset of dNK cells (n = 6). (d) Frequency of CD56bright CD16− NK cells in total cells and in each subset of cNK cells (n = 4). (e) Frequency of CD56bright CD16− NK cells in total cells and in each subset of pNK cells (n = 8).
