NCR1 Expression Identifies Canine Natural Killer Cell Subsets with Phenotypic Similarity to Human Natural Killer Cells
Canines spontaneously develop many cancers similar to humans - including osteosarcoma, leukemia, and lymphoma - offering the opportunity to study immune therapies in a genetically heterogeneous and immunocompetent environment. However, a lack of antibodies recognizing canine NK cell markers has resulted in suboptimal characterization and unknown purity of NK cell products, hindering the develop...
متن کاملHuman and murine inhibitory natural killer cell receptors transfer from natural killer cells to target cells.
Intercellular transfer of proteins across the immunological synapse is emerging as a common outcome of immune surveillance. We previously reported that target-cell MHC class I protein transfers onto natural killer (NK) cells expressing cognate killer Ig-like receptors (KIRs). We now show that, for both murine and human cells, target cells expressing inhibitory MHC class I ligands acquire cognat...
متن کاملHuman natural killer cells.
Natural killer (NK) cells were discovered more than 30 years ago. NK cells are large granular lymphocytes that belong to the innate immune system because unlike T or B lymphocytes of the adaptive or antigen-specific immune system, NK cells do not rearrange T-cell receptor or immunoglobulin genes from their germline configuration. During the past 2 decades there has been a substantial gain in ou...
متن کاملPhenotypic Studies of Natural Killer Cell Subsets in Human Transporter Associated with Antigen Processing Deficiency
Peripheral blood natural killer (NK) cells from patients with transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) deficiency are hyporesponsive. The mechanism of this defect is unknown, but the phenotype of TAP-deficient NK cells is almost normal. However, we noticed a high percentage of CD56(bright) cells among total NK cells from two patients. We further investigated TAP-deficient NK cells i...
متن کاملSubsets of human natural killer cells and their regulatory effects.
Human natural killer (NK) cells have distinct functions as NK(tolerant) , NK(cytotoxic) and NK(regulatory) cells and can be divided into different subsets based on the relative expression of the surface markers CD27 and CD11b. CD27⁺ NK cells, which are abundant cytokine producers, are numerically in the minority in human peripheral blood but constitute the large population of NK cells in cord b...
