CMV reactivation initiates long-term expansion and differentiation of the NK cell repertoire
1 Dec 2022
Abstract excerpt
Introduction: NK cells play an important role in suppression of viral replication and are critical for effective control of persistent infections such as herpesviruses. Cytomegalovirus infection is associated with expansion of 'adaptive-memory' NK cells with a characteristic CD56dimCD16bright NKG2C+ phenotype but the mechanisms by which this population is maintained remain uncertain. Methods: We studied NK cell...
