Natural killer (NK) cells attack tumor and infected cells, but the receptors and ligands that
stimulate them are poorly understood. Here we report the expression cloning of two murine …

A major group of natural killer (NK) T cells express an invariant Vα14+ T cell receptor (TCR)
specific for the lipoglycan α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer), which is presented by CD1d …

This review focuses on recent findings on the structural features of inhibitory NK cell
receptors containing immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif (ITIM) and of NK cell …

Target cell lysis is regulated by natural killer (NK) cell receptors that recognize class I MHC
molecules. Here we report the crystal structure of the human immunoglobulin-like NK cell …

Copyright 2000 Academic PressNatural killer (NK) cell activation is regulated by a
combination of positive and negative signals coming from repertoires of activating and …

The major histocompatibility complex class Ib protein, Qa-1b, serves as a ligand for murine
CD94/NKG2A natural killer (NK) cell inhibitory receptors. The Qa-1b peptide-binding site is …

Natural killer (NK) cells survey potential targets using an array of receptors specific for major
histocompatibility complex class I molecules. In mice, members of the Ly49 receptor gene …

We report an in vitro stroma-dependent system for the clonal growth and differentiation of
natural killer (NK) cells from lymphoid-restricted bone marrow progenitors or bone marrow …

Using a new mAb, 2F1, we characterize a mouse natural killer (NK) cell antigen termedkiller
cell lectin‐like receptor G1'(KLRG1; formerly mouse MAFA or 2F1‐Ag). KLRG1 is expressed …

Murine natural killer (NK) cells are inhibited from killing their targets by the interaction
between inhibitory, C‐type lectin like Ly49 receptors and major histocompatibility complex …
