Chitosan as an Immunomodulating Adjuvant on T-Cells and Antigen-Presenting Cells in Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Infection

Figure 5

Effect of chitosan on the frequencies of NK cells. The frequencies of NK1.1 were significantly different between mice with HSV infection and those without HSV infection. Chitosan influenced the frequencies of CD3⁻NK1.1⁺ cells in PBMC of mice infected with and CD3⁻DX⁺ cells in PBMC of mice without HSV infection. (k) shows the frequency of NK1.1⁺ and DX5⁺ cells, respectively, in PBMC with HSV infection. The numbers of mice used were 5 in lymph nodes of each group and 8 in PBMC of each group. In (a) and .
