Figure 3

CD158a⁺ NK cells, CD158b⁺ NK cells, and CD158b⁺ NKT-like cells in COPD patients. (a) Data shown are representative charts from different groups of subjects and the frequencies of CD158a⁺, CD158b⁺ NK cells, and CD158b⁺ NKT-like cells in individual subjects. (b) Summarized data show the number of CD158a⁺ NK cells in COPD patients and HNS. The horizontal lines show the median. (c) Summarized data show the number of CD158b⁺ NK cells in COPD patients and HNS. (d) Summarized data show the number of CD158b⁺ NKT-like cells in COPD patients and HNS.
