Abstract excerpt
The CD94/NKG2 complex is expressed on T and NK lymphocytes. CD94 molecules covalently associate to activating or inhibitory NKG2 molecules, and their expression finely tunes cell responses. Human γδ T cells express several NKRs. Expression of these receptors is confined to the cytolytic Vδ2 subset, which coexpresses the FcγRIII CD16 and CD45RA and has been defined as Vγ9Vδ2 T(EMRA) cells. We show that the...
