Characterization and activation status of NK cells. (A) The population of CD56 + CD3-NK cells after MACS isolation. (B) The activation status of IL-2-activated NK cells by NKG2D and CD69 markers. (C) The IFN-γ concentration of IL-2-activated NK cells conditioned medium (NK-CM). (D) The TNF-α concentration of IL-2-activated NK-CM. The immunostimulatory cytokines level of IL-2-activated NK-CM was significantly increased than the control group (fresh NK cells culture medium). (E) Soluble FasL and TRAIL are present in activated NK-CM determined by western blotting. Data presented as means ± standard error (M± SE). Statistical significance was determined using an unpaired t-test with *p < 0.05. ns: non-significant.
