Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) stands as the major limitation to long-term transplant outcome. The immunologic understanding of ABMR continues progress and has identified natural killer (NK) cells key effector promoting coordinating immune attack on graft microvascular endothelium. This review discusses current concepts outlining different ways that allow for NK cell recognition endothelial...
Human NK cells are characterized by their ability to initiate an immediate and direct cytolytic response to virally infected or malignantly transformed cells. Within human peripheral blood, the more mature CD56(dim) NK cell efficiently kills malignant targets at rest, whereas the less mature CD56(bright) NK cells cannot. In this study, we show that resting CD56(bright) NK cells express signific...
The phenotype of developing liver NK cells (CD3(-)NK1.1(+)) was investigated during mouse ontogeny comparing with spleen NK cells. The highest percentage of hepatic CD27(-)CD11b(-) NK cells occurred at the fetal stage. After birth, the percentage of CD27(-)CD11b(-)NK cells in both the liver and spleen gradually decreased to their lowest level at 6 weeks. More CD27(+)CD11b(-)NK cells were detect...
BACKGROUND Rituximab has broad and increasing application in rheumatic diseases. It is known from lymphoma studies that natural killer (NK) cells can lyse rituximab-coated transformed B cells. However, the role of NK cells in mediating rituximab-induced depletion of non-malignant B cells is unknown. The purpose of this study was to provide fundamental data on rituximab-mediated effects on NK ce...
During infection, Toll-like receptor agonists induce natural killer (NK)-cell activation by stimulating dendritic cells (DCs) to produce cytokines and transpresent IL-15 to NK cells. Yet the cellular dynamics underlying NK-cell activation by DCs in secondary lymphoid organs are largely unknown. Here, we have visualized NK-cell activation using mice in which NK cells and DCs express different fl...
Murine NK cells express inhibitory receptors belonging to the Ly49 and CD94/NKG2 family. Ly49E and CD94 are the only NK cell receptor transcripts detectable in fetal NK cells. Still unproved is the surface expression of Ly49E on NK cells. Here we generated two novel mAbs, a mAb recognizing Ly49E with cross-reactivity to Ly49C, and a mAb against NKG2A/C/E. Ly49E was immunoprecipitated as a disul...
Human NK cell development requires CD56-mediated motility and formation of the developmental synapse
While distinct stages of natural killer (NK) cell development have been defined, the molecular interactions that shape human NK cell maturation are poorly understood. Here we define intercellular interactions between developing NK cells and stromal cells which, through contact-dependent mechanisms, promote the generation of mature, functional human NK cells from CD34(+) precursors. We show that...
Incubation of human peripheral blood lymphocytes with bone marrow cells resulted in significant inhibition of colony formation by committed myeloid and erythroid cells. Using positively selected homogeneous natural killer (NK) cell preparations and lymphocyte subpopulations depleted of or enriched for NK cells, we definitively characterize as NK cells the cells in normal peripheral blood that a...
Natural killer cell (NK cell)-based immunotherapy of cancer is hampered by the transient effector function of NK cells. Recently, mouse IL-12/15/18-preactivated NK cells were shown to persist with sustained effector function in vivo. Our study investigated the antitumor activity of such NK cells. A single injection of syngeneic IL-12/15/18-preactivated NK cells, but neither naive nor IL-15- or ...
