The Secretion of IL-22 from Mucosal NKp44⁺ NK Cells Is Associated with Microbial Translocation and Virus Infection in SIV/SHIV-Infected Chinese Macaques

Figure 3

Numerical, phenotypical, and functional analyses of natural killer (NK) cells and the subtypes of different tissues from the microbial translocation and groups. (a) Distribution of macaque NK cell subsets in blood and tissues from the and groups. (b) NK cell subtype in Peyer’s patches mononuclear cells (PPMCs) of the and groups. (c) Expression of CD69 and (d) CD107a molecules on CD56⁺ NK cell subsets of the and groups. The column bar indicates the mean of the ratio of target cells (mononuclear cells in (a); NK cells in (b); CD56⁺CD16⁻ NK cells in (c) and (d)). Error bars and individual standard deviations (SD) are shown. and as calculated by two-sided nonparametric Mann-Whitney test.
