Percentages of NKp46+IFN-γ+ cells upon stimulation with CS were higher than those of co-culture infections with viable Mb04-303 [with a mean value of 27.89% (5 mg CS) and 57.41% (10 mg CS) of NKp46+IFN-γ +/total NKp46+ compared to 10.95% of NKp46+IFN-γ +/total NKp46+ cells in co-cultures infected with viable Mb04-303]. Here, NCR1 is linked to infection.
