FIG 8.

CD16 expression in different NK cell populations. (A) Gating on CD16⁺ NK cells (CD3⁻ CD56^dim lymphocytes) in samples with and without anti-CD16 stain. (B) The graph depicts the frequencies of CD16⁺ cells within the noneducated NK cell population, the educated NK cell population, and NK cell populations expressing different permutations of KIR and NKG2A. A superscript plus represents NK cells that are positive for a specific receptor regardless of the expression of other receptors (e.g., KIR2DL1⁺). SP represents NK cells that are single positive for a specific receptor and are negative for the three other receptors regardless of whether they are educated through the receptor or not (e.g., KIR2DL1 SP). Lines indicate medians.
