Study of Natural Cytotoxicity Receptors in Patients with HIV/AIDS and Cancer: A Cross-Sectional Study

Figure 1

Gate strategy based on example of analysis of a healthy donor (male, age 31 years). Gate strategy: (a) lymphocyte population based on FCS and SSC. (b) Identification of cells populations based on CD3 and CD56 expression, T cells (CD3⁺CD56⁻), and NK cells (CD3⁻CD56⁺). (c) Identification of NK cell subsets based on CD56 expression. (a–c) the frequency of each cell population is represented in percentage inside each graphic. (d–f) NKp46 expression in each of these cells populations, for example, in NK cells (d), NK subset (e), and NK subset (f). (d–f) the frequency of NKp46 cells in each cell population is represented in percentage inside each graphic.
