Uterine Natural Killer Cell and Human Leukocyte Antigen-G1 and Human Leukocyte Antigen-G5 Expression in Vaginal Discharge of Threatened-Abortion Women: A Case-Control Study

Figure 1

Dot plot analysis of vaginal discharge mononuclear cells, FL1 (CD3) and FL2 (CD56). CD56⁺3⁻ NK cells are found in the upper-left panel. CD56⁻3⁺ T cells are found in the lower-right panel. The mononuclear cells were isolated from vaginal discharge by Ficoll-Histopaque (1.077) and stained with FITC-anti-CD3 and PE-anti-CD56 monoclonal antibody. Gate was set around the lymphocytes. Fifty thousand lymphocytes were analyzed by flow cytometry.
