Porcine CD3+NKp46+ lymphocytes have NK-cell characteristics and are present in increased frequencies in the lungs of influenza-infected animals

The CD3-NKp46+ phenotype is frequently used for the identification of NK cells in various mammalian species. Recently, NKp46 expression was analyzed in more detail in swine. It could be shown that besides CD3-NKp46+ lymphocytes, a small but distinct population of CD3+NKp46+ cells exists. In this stu...
