Abstract excerpt
Osteopontin (OPN) is an extracellular phosphorylated glycoprotein expressed in bone, kidney, nervous tissue, bone marrow, and granulated metrial gland (GMG) cells in murine decidua. We recently demonstrated that GMG cells are differentiated natural killer (NK) lineage cells that share phenotypic, functional, and morphologic characteristics with adherent interleukin-2 (IL-2)-activated NK cells. We now show that...
