Abstract excerpt
NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity is regulated by both triggering and inhibitory signals. The interaction between MHC class I molecules expressed on target cells and specific MHC class I-binding receptors expressed by NK cells generally leads to inhibition of lysis. We have shown recently that CD80 (B7-1) in mice and CD40 in humans trigger NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity in vitro. In the present study, we show that...
