Abstract excerpt
A subpopulation of NK cells with distinctive phenotype and function differentiates and expands specifically in response to infection by human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). A hallmark of these adaptive NK cells is their increased expression levels of the activating CD94/NKG2C receptor for HLA-E, and lack of expression of its inhibitory homologue CD94/NKG2A. Their frequency is highly variable in HCMV+ individuals, and...
