Abstract excerpt
The killer cell lectin-like receptor G1 (KLRG1) is a cadherin-binding inhibitory receptor expressed by NK and T cells in humans and mice. Although structural and ligand-binding properties of human (h) and mouse (m) KLRG1 are very similar, KLRG1-mediated inhibition under physiological conditions is only observed with human lymphocytes. Using a well-defined in vitro system, we demonstrate here that mKLRG1 exhibits...
