Cytomegalovirus-Infected Primary Endothelial Cells Trigger NKG2C+ Natural Killer Cells
1 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
Among innate cells, natural killer (NK) cells play a crucial role in the defense against cytomegalovirus (CMV). In some individuals, CMV infection induces the expansion of NKG2C+ NK cells that persist after control of the infection. We have previously shown that KIR2DL+ NK cells, in contrast to NKG2C+ NK cells, contribute to controlling CMV infection using a CMV-infected monocyte-derived dendritic cell (MDDC)...
