CD11b−CD27− NK Cells Are Associated with the Progression of Lung Carcinoma
Figure 2
TINK cells display an immature phenotype.
(A) Representative flow cytometry analysis of the expression of NK-cell maturation receptors (CD57, CD127, CD117 and NKG2A) on gated CD56+CD3− TINK cells as compared with that on pNK cells from autologous patients and healthy control subjects. Quadrants depicted were set on isotype controls. (B) The frequency of CD57+, CD127+, CD117+ and NKG2A+ NK cells within the above-mentioned three NK-cell populations (n = 15; mean±SEM).
