Figure 2

The effects of the commensal microbiota on the percentage and number of NK cells and CD8⁺T cells in different stages of lung cancer. (a–c) Representative FCM plots (a) and quantification of the percentages (b) and numbers (c) of lung CD45⁺CD3^-NK1.1⁺ NK cells and CD45⁺CD3⁺CD8⁺ cells at stage 1 of cancer. (d–f) Representative dot plots (d) and quantifications of the percentages (e) and numbers (f) of lung NK and CD8⁺T cells at stage 3 cancer, . Data are presented as . and . n.s.: not significant.
