NKR indicates NK cell receptor; ND, not detectable; and kb, kilobase.

*

Percentage of positive cells by FACS analysis (mean percent of analysis performed in 5 healthy individuals).

Mean numbers of TRECs per 100 cells from 4 healthy individuals (Figure 6A).

Expression of Fas, granzyme B, and perforin in pE2 T cells was calculated based on the proportion of pE2 T cells in the total pE population.

§

Comparison of the lytic activity found in N, pE1, and pE2 subsets with that found in the E subset (Figure 4C).
