In order to characterize the immunophenotype of circulating lymphocytes in BD patients, the frequencies of cells expressing the activatory markers CD69, CD16, NKG2D, Nkp30, Nkp46 and the inhibitory marker NKG2A were analyzed within each lymphocyte subset compared to HC (refer to Figure S1 for the gating strategy). Here, KLRK1 is linked to Behcet disease.
