a-d IL4R+, TGFßR+, IFNyR+ and IL10R+ NK cells in peripheral blood. iRM patients had lower relative counts of IL4R+, TGFßR+ and IL10R+ and higher absolute numbers of IFNyR+ NK cells than female kidney graft recipients late post-transplant (for all p < 0.050). Moreover, iRM patients showed the highest absolute counts of IFNyR+ NK cells of all examined groups (for all p < 0.050). The data suggest a lower expression of IL4R, TGFßR and IL10R on NK cells of iRM patients but an increased response of IFNyR+ NK cells compared to female transplant recipients. Nineteen female HC, 15 female ESRD, 14 female renal transplant recipients late and 3 early post-transplant and 33 iRM patients were studied. Data are given as median ± interquartile range
