Only CD7⁺CD56⁺ cells express typical NK-cell markers, whereas CD7^negCD56⁺ cells express myeloid-associated receptors. (A-K) CD3^negCD14^negCD19^neg cells were gated for CD56 expression and CD56⁺ cells were plotted against CD7 to identify CD7⁺ NK cells and CD7^neg monocyte/DC-like cells. CD7⁺CD56⁺ NK cells were further subset into CD4⁺ NK cells and CD4^neg NK cells. The percentage of cells expressing each receptor was determined on each subset of cells. (L-M) Percentage of cells expressing CXCR3 (L) and mean fluorescent intensity (MFI; M) of GITR were assessed on CD4^neg and CD4⁺CD7⁺ NK cells. (N-Q) Assessment of DC and monocytic markers on CD7⁺CD56⁺ cells and CD7^negCD56⁺ cells. *P < .05. P values in panels A through K were determined between CD4^negCD7⁺ NK cells and CD7^neg monocyte/DC-like cells and between CD4⁺CD7⁺ NK cells and CD7^neg monocyte/DC-like cells (n = 6).
