Expansion of CD16-Negative Natural Killer Cells in the Peripheral Blood of Patients with Metastatic Melanoma
Figure 4
Correlation of TGF-β with (a) the CD16− NK cell subset and (b) the CD16− CD9+ subset. Expansion of the CD16− phenotype NK cell subset was strongly correlated with plasma levels of TGF-β in these patients. A moderate correlation between CD16− CD9+ NK cells and TGF-β did not meet statistical significance.
