NK cell markers and receptors have been discovered in many mammalian species, such as humans, mice, rats, pigs, and cows. However, there is still a lack of information concerning NK cell markers or receptors in canines. We have discovered that canine CD5-low density (CD5lo) cells in PBL are closely associated with NK cell characteristics. CD5lo cells comprised 14.9 +/- 6.68% of the total PBL. A high proportion of...
