Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) generated by staining K562, .221 and CEM.NKr.CCR5 cells with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and chimeric proteins to activating natural killer cell receptor (aNKR) versus their respective background controls. The y-axis shows the MFI of binding generated by using (a-c) Panel 1, (D-F) Panel 2, (g-i) Panel 3, and (j-l) Panel HLA anti-aNKR ligands reagents to stain to K562 (a, d, g, j), .221 (b, e, h, k) and CEM.NKr.CCR5 cells (c, f, i, l). White bars depict the MFI of staining with Panel A, B, C or HLA reagents while grey bars show the MFI of staining with an isotype control for ULBP-1 staining, fluorescence minus one controls for the other Panel A, Panel B and Panel 3 anti-ICAM-1 and anti-ICAM-2 antibodies and secondary antibody alone for all other aNKR ligand specific reagents. Bar height and error bars represent the median and range for the data set. Each data point represents one of three to six replicates. Significant differences are indicated by a line joining the observations being compared. (*) = p-values < 0.05 and (**) = p-values < 0.01
