Decrease in the Frequency of Circulating CD56+CD161+ NK Cells in Human Visceral Leishmaniasis.

CONCLUSION: Interestingly, we observed selective loss of CD56+CD161+ subset of circulating NK (CD3-) cells. Importantly, the other subsets (i.e., CD56-CD161+ and CD56+CD161-) of circulating NK cells remain unaffected as compared with healthy subjects. PMID: 29182405 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
