    A) Expansion kinetics of sorted CXCR6⁻ and CXCR6⁺ NK cells from independent peripheral blood NK-cell donors during 15 days of ex vivo culture with <t>CXCL16-expressing</t> feeder cells, irradiated allogeneic PBMC feeders, and cytokine supplementation. B) Representative post-expansion flow cytometry plots showing maintenance of CXCR6-defined NK-cell phenotypes following expansion. C) Representative intracellular HIV-Gag flow cytometry plots from the indicated culture conditions. Activated primary CD4⁺ T cells from a single peripheral blood donor were infected with HIV-1 Q23.17 at an MOI of 0.01 and cultured alone or co-cultured for 3 days with day 14-expanded CXCR6⁺ or CXCR6⁻ NK cells at a 1:1 effector-to-target ratio. HIV infection was quantified by intracellular HIV-Gag staining and flow cytometry. D) Quantification of HIV suppression assay results. CXCR6⁺ and CXCR6⁻ NK cells were tested using NK cells from five independent genetically unrelated donors, with the same HIV-infected CD4⁺ T-cell target donor used across all NK donor and subset conditions. For each NK donor and condition, the CD4 + T cell-frequency was determined by flow cytometry, triplicate technical wells per donor were averaged before statistical analysis, and the five NK donors were analyzed as biological replicates. Donor-level paired comparisons were analyzed using two-sided paired tests with Holm correction for multiple comparisons. CXCR6⁺ NK cells significantly reduced the frequency of HIV-Gag⁺ CD4⁺ T cells compared with HIV-only cultures, p = 0.000064. CXCR6⁻ NK cells also significantly reduced HIV-Gag⁺ CD4⁺ T cells compared with HIV-only cultures, p = 0.004059. CXCR6⁺ NK cells suppressed HIV significantly more effectively than paired CXCR6⁻ NK cells, p = 0.009637. Data are presented as mean ± SD, with each color representing an independent NK-cell donor. **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001.

B) Representative post-expansion flow cytometry plots showing maintenance of CXCR6-defined NK-cell phenotypes following expansion. C) Representative intracellular HIV-Gag flow cytometry plots from the indicated culture conditions. Activated primary CD4⁺ T cells from a single peripheral blood donor were infected with HIV-1 Q23.17 at an MOI of 0.01 and cultured alone or co-cultured for 3 days with day 14-expanded CXCR6⁺ or CXCR6⁻ NK cells at a 1:1 effector-to-target ratio. HIV infection was quantified by intracellular HIV-Gag staining and flow cytometry. D) Quantification of HIV suppression assay results. CXCR6⁺ and CXCR6⁻ NK cells were tested using NK cells from five independent genetically unrelated donors, with the same HIV-infected CD4⁺ T-cell target donor used across all NK donor and subset conditions. For each NK donor and condition, the CD4 + T cell-frequency was determined by flow cytometry, triplicate technical wells per donor were averaged before statistical analysis, and the five NK donors were analyzed as biological replicates. Donor-level paired comparisons were analyzed using two-sided paired tests with Holm correction for multiple comparisons. CXCR6⁺ NK cells significantly reduced the frequency of HIV-Gag⁺ CD4⁺ T cells compared with HIV-only cultures, p = 0.000064. CXCR6⁻ NK cells also significantly reduced HIV-Gag⁺ CD4⁺ T cells compared with HIV-only cultures, p = 0.004059. CXCR6⁺ NK cells suppressed HIV significantly more effectively than paired CXCR6⁻ NK cells, p = 0.009637. Data are presented as mean ± SD, with each color representing an independent NK-cell donor. **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001.

    ELISA was used to measure Chlamydia-infection induced (A) CCL5, (B) CXCL10, (C) IL-6, and (D) CXCL16 secreted into the supernatants of wild-type and mutant OE cells that were either mock-treated or infected with the 10 IFU/cell C. muridarum. Supernatants were collected at the indicated time post-infection. ***= p<0.005; **= p<0.01 *= p<0.05; ns= not statistically significant when compared to mock-infected control cells.
