Molecular cloning of NKp46: a novel member of the immunoglobulin superfamily involved in triggering of natural cytotoxicity

A Pessino, S Sivori, C Bottino, A Malaspina… - The Journal of …, 1998 - rupress.org
NKp46 has been shown to represent a novel, natural killer (NK) cell–specific surface
molecule, involved in human NK cell activation. In this study, we further analyzed the role of …

NKp44, a triggering receptor involved in tumor cell lysis by activated human natural killer cells, is a novel member of the immunoglobulin superfamily

C Cantoni, C Bottino, M Vitale, A Pessino… - The Journal of …, 1999 - rupress.org
Surface receptors involved in natural killer (NK) cell triggering during the process of tumor
cell lysis have recently been identified. Of these receptors, NKp44 is selectively expressed …

Co-association of CD3ζ with a receptor (CD16) for IgG Fc on human natural killer cells

LL Lanier, G Yu, JH Phillips - Nature, 1989 - nature.com
NATURAL killer (NK) cells are a subset of lymphocytes that mediate major histocompatibility
complex (MHC)-nonrestricted cytotoxicity against tumours and virus-infected cells and …

Identification of four subsets of human CD3-CD16+ natural killer (NK) cells by the expression of clonally distributed functional surface molecules: correlation between …

A Moretta, C Bottino, D Pende, G Tripodi… - The journal of …, 1990 - rupress.org
In previous studies we identified a surface molecule (termed GL183) capable of mediating
cell activation and selectively expressed by a subset of human CD3-CD16+ natural killer …

Gntb-A, a Novel Sh2d1a-Associated Surface Molecule Contributing to the Inability of Natural Killer Cells to Kill Epstein-Barr Virus–Infected B Cells in X-Linked …

C Bottino, M Falco, S Parolini, E Marcenaro… - The Journal of …, 2001 - rupress.org
In humans, natural killer (NK) cell function is regulated by a series of receptors and
coreceptors with either triggering or inhibitory activity. Here we describe a novel 60-kD …

A novel surface antigen expressed by a subset of human CD3-CD16+ natural killer cells. Role in cell activation and regulation of cytolytic function.

A Moretta, G Tambussi, C Bottino, G Tripodi… - The Journal of …, 1990 - rupress.org
The GL183 mAb was obtained by immunizing BALB/c mice with the E57 clone (CD7+ CD2+
