NK Phenotype / Subset Analyzer
Interpret supplied human NK-cell surface-marker patterns as conservative phenotype-associated contexts. The analyzer deliberately does not convert phenotype into cytotoxicity, activation probability, clinical response, or a definitive developmental lineage.
Phenotype inputs
Use measured phenotype when available. “Unknown” is preserved as unknown rather than imputed.
Result
Enter the available phenotype and run the analysis.
Interpretation boundary
- CD56/CD16 are broad conventional phenotype categories, not a complete NK taxonomy.
- CD57/KIR/NKG2A/NKG2C add differentiation or adaptive-associated context but do not prove lineage or function.
- NKG2C positivity alone is not treated as proof of adaptive/memory NK identity.
- No aggregate NK killing or activation score is produced.
- Research use only; experimental phenotyping and functional validation remain required.
