NKp46⁺ and NKp46^- NK cells in C57BL/6 mice infected with <i>T</i>. <i>brucei</i> AnTat 1.1 for up to 30 days.

<p>C57BL/6 mice (n = 3/group) were infected by ip inoculation with 5x10³ <i>T</i>. <i>brucei</i> AnTat1.1 or sham-infected by ip inoculation of physiologic saline. On days 0, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, and 30 after infection groups of infected and uninfected mice were killed, spleen cell suspensions made and analyzed by multicolor flow cytometry to identify NKp46⁺ and NKp46^- NK cells (CD3^-NK1.1⁺) using FACs gates shown in <a href="http://www.plospathogens.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.ppat.1005733#ppat.1005733.s006" target="_blank">S6 Fig</a>. Data are presented as mean +/- 1 standard deviation; dark bars NKp46⁺ light bars NKp46^-.
