HLA-Cw3 expression on porcine endothelial cells protects against xenogeneic cytotoxicity mediated by a subset of human NK cells
1 Oct 1997
Abstract excerpt
There is increasing evidence that NK cells make an important contribution to human anti-porcine xenogeneic cytotoxicity. Most allogeneic as well as autologous normal cells are not susceptible to NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity because they express inhibitory molecules encoded within the MHC class I loci. The protective signal is delivered to NK cells through killer cell-inhibitory receptors expressing different MHC...
