NKG2C zygosity influences CD94/NKG2C receptor function and the NK‐cell compartment redistribution in response to human cytomegalovirus
12 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection promotes a persistent expansion of a functionally competent NK-cell subset expressing the activating CD94/NKG2C receptor. Factors underlying the wide variability of this effect observed in HCMV-seropositive healthy individuals and exacerbated in immunocompromized patients are uncertain. A deletion of the NKG2C gene has been reported, and an apparent relation of NKG2C...
