Fig 1: Frequency and cell count of ILC1-like cells from CB inversely correlates with gestational age.(a–e) Frequency (top panel) and cell count per µl blood (lower panel) of CB samples (n = 37) according to gestational age are shown from left to right for ILC1-like cells, ILC2, ILC3, CD56dim NK cells, and CD56bright NK cells. (f) Frequency of ILCs within lymphocytes from CB (n = 32), adult PB (n = 22, age 18–55 years), and elderly PB (n = 20, age 63–86) as Tukey box plots from left to right for total ILC (Lin-CD94-CD45+CD127+), ILC1-like cells (CD117-CRTH2-), ILC2 (CD117-/+CRTH2+), and ILC3 (CD117+CRTH2-). The heights of the bars represent the mean ± SEM. Levels of significance were calculated using a Spearman correlation (a–e) and a Kruskal-Wallis test with a Mann-Whitney U post-test and Bonferroni corrected p-values for multiple testing (f), * p-value<0.05, ** p-value<0.01, *** p-value<0.001. Data represent at least three different donors and experiments.
