Antigen presentation by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins is essential for
adaptive immunity. Prior to presentation, peptides need to be generated from proteins that …

Natural killer (NK) cells are potent immune effector cells that can respond to infection and
cancer, as well as allowing maternal adaptation to pregnancy. In response to malignant …

Optical biosensor technology continues to be the method of choice for label‐free, real‐time
interaction analysis. But when it comes to improving the quality of the biosensor literature …

The cytolytic activity of natural killer (NK) cells is regulated by inhibitory receptors that detect
the absence of self molecules on target cells. Structural studies of missing self recognition …

Shaping natural killer (NK) cell functions in human immunity and reproduction are diverse
killer cell immunoglobulin‐like receptors (KIR s) that recognize polymorphic MHC class I …

Animal Lectins: Form, Function and Clinical Applications presents up-to-date knowledge of
animal lectins. Detailed descriptions on biological activities, tissue and/or subcellular …

Natural killer (NK) cells are key components of innate immune responses to tumors and viral
infections. NK cell function is regulated by NK cell receptors that recognize both cellular and …

Highlights•MHC-I molecules exhibit allotype-dependent conformational flexibility, which is
critical for their function.•Peptide-deficient MHC-I adopt distinct groove conformations …

Recognition of mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV)–infected cells by activating NK cell
receptors was first described in the context of Ly49H, which confers resistance to C57BL/6 …

CD4 and CD8 enhancement of FcR-like signaling is discussed as a potential role when
expressed by innate immune cells. CD8 and CD4 are expressed by several cell types that …
