The isolation of the NK cells. The cell surface markers were determined in the PBMC using flow cytometry. (a) The PBMC constituted of CD3+CD56− cells (31.6%), CD3−CD56− cells (59.4%), CD3−CD56+ cells (8.91%), and CD3+CD56+ cells (0.2%). (b) Following the NK cell isolation, the number of CD3 positive cells had clearly decreased.
