[HTML][HTML] The transcription factors T-bet and Eomes control key checkpoints of natural killer cell maturation

SM Gordon, J Chaix, LJ Rupp, J Wu, S Madera, JC Sun… - Immunity, 2012 - cell.com
Natural killer (NK) cells play critical roles defending against tumors and pathogens. We
show that mice lacking both transcription factors Eomesodermin (Eomes) and T-bet failed to …

Self-tolerance of natural killer cells

DH Raulet, RE Vance - Nature Reviews Immunology, 2006 - nature.com
Natural killer (NK) cells, similar to other lymphocytes, acquire tolerance to self. This means
that NK cells have the potential to attack normal self cells but that there are mechanisms to …

A subset of natural killer cells achieves self-tolerance without expressing inhibitory receptors specific for self-MHC molecules

NC Fernandez, E Treiner, RE Vance, AM Jamieson… - Blood, 2005 - ashpublications.org
It is widely believed that self-tolerance of natural killer (NK) cells occurs because each NK
cell expresses at least one inhibitory receptor specific for a host major histocompatibility …

Regulation of the natural killer cell receptor repertoire

DH Raulet, RE Vance… - Annual review of …, 2001 - annualreviews.org
Natural killer cells express inhibitory receptors specific for MHC class I proteins and
stimulatory receptors with diverse specificities. The MHC-specific receptors discriminate …

The strength of inhibitory input during education quantitatively tunes the functional responsiveness of individual natural killer cells

P Brodin, T Lakshmikanth, S Johansson… - Blood, The Journal …, 2009 - ashpublications.org
Natural killer (NK) cells express inhibitory receptors for major histocompatibility complex
