Natural Killer Cell Cytokine Response to M. bovis BCG Is Associated with Inhibited Proliferation, Increased Apoptosis and Ultimate Depletion of NKp44+CD56bright Cells (original) (raw)
Figure 3
CD56bright NK cell subset constitutes the main source of IFN-γ following mycobacterial exposure.
A) CD56 versus CD16 FACS plot analysis of the total population of NK cells (left plot) isolated from the blood of a healthy human donor in comparison to CD16+ isolated NK cells from the same donor (right plot). B) Bar graph showing the production of IFN-γ after 72h of exposure with M. bovis BCG (MOI 1:4) from total NK cells in comparison to an equal number of autologous CD16+ NK cells (n=2, mean +/- SD of technical replicates).
