Percentage of peripheral blood CD56bright NK cells (NKregs) and CD56dim/CD56bright ratio within circulating NK population in different study groups. Lymphocytes were gated for CD3-negativity (a diagram on the left) and a population of interest was defined according to CD16/CD56 membrane expression levels (the gate for NKregs is depicted by a thick line). Significant differences between the patients and the controls are designated by asterisks: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01
