Other results of the currentstudy revealed that the percentage of another subset of NK cells(CD56highCD16+/− NK cells) was significantly increased atthe first day of recovery. TheCD56lowCD16+ NK cells have high expression levels ofkiller inhibitory receptors, the maturation marker (CD57), and natural andantibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity which is mediated by releasing high levelsof perforin and enhanced killing.16,30,31 […]
