Phenotype of Peripheral NK Cells in Latent, Active, and Meningeal Tuberculosis

Figure 2

Expression of CD69 in peripheral NK cells from patients with TB. (a) The expression of CD69 in peripheral blood NK cells from healthy controls (HC, ), individuals with latent TB infection (LTBI, ), patients with active pulmonary TB (PTB, ), and patients with tuberculous meningitis (TBM, ) was assessed by flow cytometry. (b) Percentage of CD69+ NK cells. (c) Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) values for CD69 in NK cells. Differences between groups were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and post hoc Dunn’s test for multiple comparisons. The data shown represent the mean (±SE) values. and .
