Vaginal NKp46⁺ CD3^- cell population contains conventional Eomes⁺ NK cells and Eomes^- ILC1-like cells.

<p>(A) Histogram plots show stainings with antibodies against specific markers (black line histograms) and with isotype control antibodies (grey line histograms) gated on NKp46⁺ CD3^- cells from spleen, GLN, and vagina of naive C57BL/6 mice. Specific stainings were also performed on NKp46⁺ CD3^- cells from liver and thymus. Numbers in histogram plots represent the MFI (mean fluorescence intensity) and the percentages of positive cells for the marker. Data are representative of at least four independent experiments. (B) Bidimensional dot plots show expression of CD49a and Eomes (upper panel) and CD49a and CD49b on gated NKp46⁺ CD3^- cells from spleen, GLN, vaginas and liver of naive C57BL/6 mice. Numbers in quadrants represent the percentage of cells for each subset.
