Adaptive reconfiguration of the human NK‐cell compartment in response to cytomegalovirus: A different perspective of the host‐pathogen interaction
2 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
As discussed in this review, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection in healthy individuals is associated with a variable and persistent increase of NK cells expressing the CD94/NKG2C activating receptor. The expansion of NKG2C(+) NK cells reported in other infectious diseases is systematically associated with HCMV co-infection. The functionally mature NKG2C(bright) NK-cell subset expanding in HCMV(+) individuals...
