Characterization of NK Cells in the Nasal Lavage by Flow Cytometry. NK cells were identified in CD45+ NLF cell populations of nonsmokers at baseline. A) Representative flow cytometric plot depicting NK cells (CD56+) and neutrophils (CD56-CD16+). B) Percentages of total NK cells are greater than neutrophils in non-squamous NLF cell populations. C) Percentages of CD16- NK cells are greater than percentages of CD16+ NK cells in non-squamous NLF cell populations. **p < 0.01, * p < 0.05. Nonsmoker n = 11.
