Shifts in Vα24 NK T cell phenotype after leaving the thymus. Expression of CD161, CD62L, CD45RO, and CCR5 in NK T cell progenitors defined by Vα24 and Vβ11 in the TCR high CD4+ intrathymic stage in cord-blood Vα24 NK T cells and adult peripheral blood Vα24 NK T cells, as determined by four-color flow cytometry, are shown.
