Figure 1. Higher NKp46 expression in females and Caucasians.

Figure 1

Multi-parameter flow cytometric analysis was used to assess the expression of a range of NK receptors on NK cells from 58 normal control subjects. Of the 14 receptors assayed only the natural cytotoxicity receptor NKp46 differed significantly amongst donors. The highest expression of NKp46 was detected in the female (F) Caucasian American (CA) group and the lowest in the male (M) African American (AA) group (A). Relatively increased levels of expression of NKp46 were associated with female gender (B) and Caucasian race (C).
