Recognition of Vaccinia Virus-Infected Cells by Human Natural Killer Cells Depends on Natural Cytotoxicity Receptors
11 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
Natural Killer (NK) cells are important in the immune response to a number of viruses; however, the mechanisms used by NK cells to discriminate between healthy and virus-infected cells are only beginning to be understood. Infection with vaccinia virus provokes a marked increase in the susceptibility of target cells to lysis by NK cells, and we show that recognition of the changes in the target cell induced by...
