¹The statistical test performed to determine the relationship between AA, AB and BB genotypes and the expression of KIR genes among vaccinated and non-vaccinated study participants. FET refers to the Fisher’s exact test and the rest of the values represent the Pearson χ² value.

^aP < 0.05, significant. KIR: Killer immunoglobulin receptor; FET: Fisher-exact test.
