NCR3 and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: The results showed that the levels of the activating receptors NKG2D and NKp30 (Fig. 3e and f) and the levels of the effector molecule granzyme B (Fig. 4a and b) were suppressed in the ESCC#1 and ESCC#2 co-cultured supernatants in comparison with those in the RPMI1640 medium (NC) supernatant of healthy oesophageal cell lines KYSE150 and EC9706.
