The characterization of the before and after stimulation NK cells, as classified by the SVR and NR grouping. Between (a) and (c), there were no statistically significant differences between the SVR and NR groups associated with the cell surface markers on the NK cells. However, the NK cells from the SVR group did produce higher amounts of IFN-γ than those from the NR group ( ) (d).
