Figure 1

(a) From left to right and up to down; a dot-plot representing the natural killer (NK) cell gate, i.e. CD3− CD56+ cells; a histogram showing the IgG isotypic control for natural cytotoxicity receptor (NCR) -specific antibodies; histogram showing CD56 expression in the CD3− cells and defining CD56dim versus CD56bright NK cells; NKp30/NCR3, NKp44/NCR2 and NKp46/NCR1 expression. (b) Comparison of the absolute number of total NK cells (first two columns), CD56dim subset (third and fourth columns) and CD56bright subset (two last columns) in patients (black bars) and healthy donors (white bars). ***Statistically significant difference (P < 0.05), NS, no statistically significant difference.
