Fig 1. NK cells expand and persist in the liver of E. muris- but not IOE-primed mice.

Fig 1

Liver mononuclear cells were isolated from indicated mice groups on day 21 post-infection, and the frequency and activation of NK cells were analyzed. (A) shows gating strategy on NK cells and activation marker NKG2D. (B) The percentage and (C) absolute number of NK cells in the livers of indicated mice groups. as determined by flow cytometry. (D) The percentage of activated NK cells expressing NKG2D. The results demonstrate a higher frequency of activated NKG2D+ NK cells in the livers of E. muris-primed mice as compared to other groups (* P <0.05 and ** P <0.01). The data shown are the means ± SD from three mice per group and are representative of three independent experiments.
