MHC class I-Ly49 interactions shape the Ly49 repertoire on murine NK cells.
This study aims to determine how the interaction of Ly49 receptors with MHC class I molecules shapes the development of the Ly49 repertoire. We have examined the percentage of NK cells that expressed Ly49A, Ly49G2, and Ly49D in single and double Ly49A/C-transgenic mice on four different MHC backgrounds, H-2(b), H-2(d), H-2(b/d), and beta(2)-microglobulin(-/-). The results show that the total nu...
متن کاملMHC-dependent shaping of the inhibitory Ly49 receptor repertoire on NK cells: evidence for a regulated sequential model.
Engagement of MHC class I-specific inhibitory receptors regulates natural killer (NK) cell development and function. Using both new and previously characterized anti-Ly49 monoclonal antibodies, we comprehensively determined expression and co-expression frequencies of four Ly49 receptors by NK cells from MHC-congenic, MHC class I-deficient, and Ly49A-transgenic mice to study mechanisms that shap...
متن کاملLy49A Transgenic Mice Provide Evidence for a Major Histocompatibility Complex–dependent Education Process in Natural Killer Cell Development
The Ly49 natural killer (NK) cell receptors are class I MHC-specific inhibitory receptors that are distributed to overlapping NK cell subsets. The formation of the Ly49 receptor repertoire was examined with transgenic mice that express Ly49A in all NK cells. In MHC class I-deficient mice, the Ly49A transgene did not prevent expression of endogenous Ly49 genes. However, in H-2(d) mice that expre...
متن کاملDirect assessment of MHC class I binding by seven Ly49 inhibitory NK cell receptors.
Mouse NK cells express at least seven inhibitory Ly49 receptors. Here we employ a semiquantitative cell-cell adhesion assay as well as class I/peptide tetramers to provide a comprehensive analysis of specificities of Ly49 receptors for class I MHC molecules in eight MHC haplotypes. Different Ly49 receptors exhibited diverse binding properties. The degree of class I binding was related to the ex...
متن کاملCross-species dependence of Ly49 recognition on the supertype defining B-pocket of a class I MHC molecule.
Ly49 recognition of MHC class I (MHC I) can be allele specific. However, the site of interaction on MHC I consists of highly conserved solvent-exposed amino acids, leaving it unclear how allele specificity occurs. In examining the specificity of mouse and rat Ly49, we noticed that MHC I ligands for mouse Ly49G and W, and the rat Ly49i2, typically share the HLA-B7 supertype, defined by a B-pocke...
