چکیده

Activation of natural killer cells can be mediated by different receptors. Stimulation of the receptors 2B4, NTB-A and CRACC, members of the SLAM-related receptor family, induces cytotoxicity and cytokine production. The surface expression of 2B4 and other activating natural killer cell receptors is down-modulated after receptor engagement, which results in a weaker response to consecutive stimulation. We tested whether this regulatory mechanism applies to all SLAM-related receptors expressed by primary human natural killer cells. After co-culture with target cells expressing the respective ligands different effects on receptor surface expression were observed. While 2B4 expression was strongly reduced, NTB-A showed less prominent down-modulation and the expression level of CRACC remained unchanged. The expression levels of the receptor-proximal signaling molecules SAP, EAT-2 and FynT did not change after receptor engagement. Co-culture with target cells expressing the ligands for NTB-A or CRACC had no impact on subsequent NTB-A or CRACC-mediated NK cell activation.

Multi-gap individual and coupled split-ring resonator structures.

We present a systematic numerical study, validated by accompanied experimental data, of individual and coupled split ring resonators (SRRs) of a single rectangular ring with one, two and four gaps. We discuss the behavior of the magnetic resonance frequency, the magnetic field and the currents in the SRRs, as one goes from a single SRR to strongly interacting SRR pairs in the SRR plane. We show...

Understanding Hydrogen-Bond Patterns in Proteins using a Novel Statistical Model

ion of structural data is essential, since a researcher who is not an expert in the intricacies of structural biology may be overwhelmed by the thousands of details of the ‘All-Atom’ visualization scheme. Moreover, the positions of the protein atoms are in many cases less robust than the interactions they induce. Therefore, interresidues contact maps (or networks) are likely to be informative b...
