Abstract excerpt
Rat NK cells are divided into major subsets expressing either Ly49 receptors or the inhibitory NKR-P1B receptor in conjunction with NKG2A/C/E receptors. A minor subset of NKp46+ cells lacking expression of both Ly49 receptors and NKR-P1B is present in blood and spleen and is associated with decreased functional competence. We hypothesized that this subset may represent precursors to Ly49+ and/or NKR-P1B+ NK...
