KLRC2 mRNA levels are elevated in CMV and SIV infection.

<p>(A) Representative gating strategy showing the criteria for identifying NK cells, as well as strategy for differentiating KLRC1+ or KLRC2+ populations. (B) Data showing KLRC1+ or KLRC2+ NK cells as a percentage of all lymphocytes, and (C) as a percentage of NKG2AC+ NK cells. The horizontal bars in (B) and (C) indicate medians. Each point corresponds to a single animal: SPF (n = 10), CMV (n = 12) and SIV (n = 8). Mann-Whitney <i>U</i> test; *<i>p</i> < 0.05, **<i>p</i> < 0.01, ***<i>p</i> < 0.0001.
