Natural Cytotoxicity Receptors in Decidua Natural Killer Cells of Term Normal Pregnancy

Figure 6

(a) Percentage of CD336 (NKp44)+ cells among CD56+CD3- cells at term pregnancy in peripheral blood and decidua. The percentage of CD336 (NKp44)+ cells among CD56+CD3- lymphocytes was higher than in peripheral blood. (b) Representative dot plot analysis of CD336 (NKp44)+ cells among CD56+CD3- lymphocytes taken from term pregnancy by flow cytometry. The gate was set around the CD3- lymphocytes to analyze the CD336+CD56+ NK cells.
