NK cell phenotype is altered with age. In the follow-up cohort (young [YA], n = 10; older [OA], n = 63), A NK-cells (CD56+CD3 PBMCs) were identified by flow cytometry and gated into dim (CD56+; coloured green) and bright (CD56.++; coloured pink) subsets; the proportion of each subset expressing various phenotypic markers are shown for a single representative older adult. B Marker positivity in young and older adults, along with the geometric mean for each subset, and differences evaluated by Wilcoxon rank-sum test (ie. p)
