Current perspectives of natural killer cell education by MHC class I molecules

P Höglund, P Brodin - Nature reviews immunology, 2010 - nature.com
From the early days of natural killer (NK) cell research, it was clear that MHC genes
controlled the specificity of mouse NK cell-dependent responses, such as the ability to reject …

NK cells, MHC class I molecules and the missing self

The speed of change: towards a discontinuity theory of immunity?

T Pradeu, S Jaeger, E Vivier - Nature Reviews Immunology, 2013 - nature.com
Immunology—though deeply experimental in everyday practice—is also a theoretical
discipline. Recent advances in the understanding of innate immunity, how it is triggered and …

MHC class I–deficient natural killer cells acquire a licensed phenotype after transfer into an MHC class I–sufficient environment

JM Elliott, JA Wahle, WM Yokoyama - Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2010 - rupress.org
In MHC class I–deficient hosts, natural killer (NK) cells are hyporesponsive to cross-linking
of activation receptors. Functional competence requires engagement of a self–major …

Fas-mediated cytotoxicity by freshly isolated natural killer cells.

H Arase, N Arase, T Saito - The Journal of experimental medicine, 1995 - rupress.org
