Ly-49 receptors and their functions.

Critical reviews in immunology - 1 Jan 2004

Kane Kevin P, Lavender Kerry J, Ma Brian J

Abstract excerpt

Ly-49 receptors are lectin-like type II transmembrane disulfide-bonded homodimers expressed on natural killer (NK) cells and some T-cell subsets. Cell-mediated cytotoxicity and release of cytokines/chemokines are functions regulated by Ly-49 recognition of class I major histocompatibility complex proteins (MHC-I) or virus-encoded MHC-like product(s). Here we examine diversity and conservation found within the...
