Effect of gender and mouse strain on natural killer cell populations in the Peyer’s patches and spleen. Percentage of NKp46⁺CD3⁻ cells from lymphocytes (a), percentage of RORɣt⁺ cells from NKp46⁺CD3⁻ cells (b) in the Peyer’s patches, and percentage of NKp46⁺CD3^- cells from lymphocytes in the spleen (c) of male, female, BALB/c, and B6 mice. Results are expressed as the mean + SEM and were tested using two-way ANOVA. Significant strain effects are indicated with an asterisk (*) and significant gender effects are indicated with the letter a in each graph (p < 0.05)
