Abstract excerpt
NK cells co-expressing NKG2C and inhibitory KIRs represent promising effector candidates when directed against HLA-E+ tumors. These cells may propagate in vitro upon HCMV peptide (LFL) presentation within HLA-E by interacting cells due to KIR+NKG2C+ cell expansion or via NKG2C or KIR de novo expression. This study aimed to clarify whether these accumulation mechanisms are connected to the healthy individual's ex...
