Differences between CD25+ and CD25− dNK cells. (a) Flow cytometry analysis of activating and inhibitory receptors on CD3−CD56bright CD25+ and CD3−CD56brightCD25− dNK cells. (b–d) Flow cytometry analysis of intracellular cytokine percentage and MFI of IFN-γ, IL-8 and TGF-β on CD3−CD56brightCD25− and CD3−CD56brightCD25− dNK cells. (e) Flow cytometry analysis of perforin and Granzyme B expression in CD3−CD56bright CD25+ and CD3−CD56brightCD25− dNK cells. Data represent the mean±standard error from 10 independent experiments with different deciduas. *P<0.05, **P<0.01; ***P<0.001. dNK, decidual natural killer; MFI, mean fluorescence intensity.
