From: Composition and dynamics of the uterine NK cell KIR repertoire in menstrual blood
Longitudinal analyses of the uterine NK cell KIR repertoire over multiple menstrual cycles. (a) Representative staining of CD57, CD16, KIR2DL2/L3/S2, and NKG2A on matched menstrual (MBMC) and peripheral (PBMC) blood NK cells isolated from consecutive menstrual cycles. (b) KIR-repertoire plots of uterine NK cells (CD16-CD57-NKG2A+, gray filled or dashed lines) and CD16+CD56dim peripheral blood NK cells (black filled or dashed lines). Boolean-combinations of the six gates for KIR (Figure 2a) were used to generate up to 64 distinct phenotypes. Data are representative of 10 donors.
