Figure Lengend Snippet: Validation of selected factors differentially expressed in IL-2 stimulated NK cells. Real-time-PCR analysis (a) of mRNA level of PTP1B, PCNA, and CD97 in naïve NK cells and NK cells activated by IL-2 for 16 h. Flow cytometry was used to monitor differential expression of CD48 (b), CD56 (c), CD11b (d), and CD11c (e) on naïve NK cells (dotted line) and NK cells stimulated with IL-2 (solid line) for 16 h. For each factor, data obtained for NK cells isolated from two healthy donors is shown. Non-specific IgG control is (shaded histogram) is shown only for the CD48 data.
Article Snippet: The RosetteSep NK cell isolation kit (Stem Cell Technologies) was used and NK cell purification was conducted according to the manufacturer's protocol and the purity of the isolated NK cells was determined by monitoring of CD3, CD16, CD56, and NKp46 expression via flow cytometry as described in our previous work [ 27 – 29 ].
