Boolean combinations of KIR receptors were gated manually on Lineage negative (Lin−) CD56+dMCs and Lin− CD56dim PBMCs following mass cytometry and grouped according to the number of KIR expressed from zero to three or more KIR (3+). Markers are grouped in the following way a increase on CD56dim pbNK, b increase on dNK, c decrease on CD56dim pbNK, d decrease on dNK (n = 19 decidua and 8–9 peripheral blood, five pregnant and four non-pregnant blood donors). Friedman tests using Dunn’s correction for multiple testing were performed for KIR = 1, 2, 3+. Error bars represent SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0001. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
