The proportions of CD3−CD56+CD16+ NK cells in peripheral blood of healthy controls (N = 50), asthmatic subjects (N = 56) and asthma patients with AURVIs (N = 49) were measured by flow cytometry. Gating strategy for analysis of CD3−CD56+CD16+ NK cells population. (a) Whole blood cell plot. (b) Lymphocytes were gated from whole blood pattern. (c) CD3 negative population was gated for NK cells analysis. (d) The populations of CD56+ CD16+ NK cells (Q2) were gated. (e) Time trends of peripheral CD3−CD56+CD16+ NK cells in asthma patients with AURVIs on day 1, day 3, day 8 and day 14. *p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01,*** p < 0.001
