Figure 2.

Differences in relative proportions of CD56^bright and CD56^dim natural killer (NK) cell populations in the effector cells. Fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS) profiles shown as pseudo-colour plots illustrating the relative proportions of CD56^bright and CD56^dim NK cell populations in each of the 10 effector cells (a–j). For each effector cell the four panels are, from left to right: far left: ungated [side scatter (SSc) versus forward scatter (FSc]; left: lymphocyte gate (CD56 versus CD3); right, and far right: the populations representing CD56^bright cells are boxed and depicted as both the CD3⁻CD56⁺ population (right) and in relation to FSc (far right).
