Fasting Enhances TRAIL-Mediated Liver Natural Killer Cell Activity via HSP70 Upregulation
Figure 2
Distribution of TRAIL and CD69 expression in liver natural killer cells in response to starvation.
Liver lymphocytes from fed mice and 3-day-fasted mice were stained with monoclonal antibodies and counted using flow cytometry. Numbers of (A) TCRβ− NK1.1+ natural killer (NK) cells, (B) TRAIL+/− NK cells, and (C) CD69+/− NK cells per gram of liver tissue are presented in bar graphs as mean plus standard deviation (n = 7); *p <0.05 as analyzed by the independent samples T test.
