Identification of effector-memory CMV-specific T lymphocytes that kill CMV-infected target cells in an HLA-E-restricted fashion
13 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
HLA-E-restricted T cells represent a minor cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL) population characterized by the surface expression of HLA class I-specific inhibitory receptors and by the capability of killing a large panel of allogeneic target cells (therefore named NK-CTL). Here we show that this subset of T cells is present in a sizeable fraction in the peripheral blood of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)-seropositive...
