Extensive phenotypic analysis of NK cells in patients with hf-ASD. a The frequency of CD3−CD56+ cells within the CD45+ lymphocyte gate in 35 patients with hf-ASD and 35 age- and sex-matched healthy controls from the French National Blood Service (EFS-Ctl), with a follow-up over a 3-year period in four hf-ASD patients. b The frequency of the immature marker, NKG2A, within the CD3−CD56+ NK cells gate in 35 patients with hf-ASD and 35 EFS-Ctl, *p < 0.05 (Mann-Whitney test), and the follow-up during a 3-year period in four hf-ASD patients. c The frequency of the late activation marker HLA-DR in 35 patients with hf-ASD and 33 EFS-Ctl, ***p < 0.0001 (Mann-Whitney test). Representative samples are shown in the right panels
