Salivary gland NK cells are phenotypically and functionally unique.

PLoS pathogens - 13 Jan 2011

Tessmer Marlowe S, Reilly Emma C, Brossay Laurent

Abstract excerpt

Natural killer (NK) cells and CD8(+) T cells play vital roles in containing and eliminating systemic cytomegalovirus (CMV). However, CMV has a tropism for the salivary gland acinar epithelial cells and persists in this organ for several weeks after primary infection. Here we characterize a distinct NK cell population that resides in the salivary gland, uncommon to any described to date, expressing both mature and...
