Figure 2. The transcription factor Eomes controls the homeostasis of peripheral NK cells.

Figure 2.

(A) Histograms showing Eomes expression in peripheral blood NK cells from EomesWT and EomesΔ/Δ mice at day 3 PT.

(B) Percentage of Tom+ NK cells in blood of EomesWT and EomesΔ/Δ mice at indicated days PT, expressed as a ratio relative to % Tom+ blood NK cells in that same mouse at day 3 PT. Data were fitted with one phase decay curve between day 3–30 PT to determine t1/2 reported in the text.

(C and D) Percentage of EomesWT and EomesΔ/Δ Tom+ blood NK cells within the most mature CD11b+ CD27− subset (C) or expressing KLRG1 (D) at indicated days PT.

Data are representative of 3 independent experiments with 2–5 mice per group per experiment. Data are presented as the mean ± S.E.M. *p <0.05.
