Abstract excerpt
The role of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I expression in control of the sensitivity of normal cells to natural killer (NK) cells was studied by the use of mutant mice made deficient for expression of beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2m) through homologous recombination in embryonal stem cells. T-cell blasts from beta 2m-deficient (beta 2m -/-) mice were killed by NK cells from normal mice in vitro,...
