CD27 Dissects Mature NK Cells into Two Subsets with Distinct Responsiveness and Migratory Capacity
1 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
Lineage differentiation and the formation of heterogeneous mature subsets are crucial for immune cells to maintain a breadth of responsiveness to pathogens while controlling reactivity to self. In this study, we report that CD27 is a key marker of the NK cell lineage, dissecting the mature Mac-1high NK cell pool into two functionally distinct subsets. The CD27low NK cell subset possesses a higher threshold to...
