The NKR-P1 receptors were identified as prototypical natural killer (NK) cell surface antigens and later shown to be conserved from rodents to humans on NK cells and subsets of T cells. C-type lectin-like in nature, they were originally shown to be capable of activating NK cell function and to recognize ligands on tumor cells. However, certain family members have subsequently been shown to be c...

Previously, we showed that Killer Immunoglobulin-like Receptor (KIR)3DS1 homozygotes (hmz) are more frequent in HIV exposed seronegative (HESN) than in recently HIV infected (HIV+) individuals. KIR3DS1 encodes an activating Natural Killer (NK) cell receptor (NKR). The link between KIR genotype and HIV outcomes likely arises from the function that NK cells acquire through expression of particula...

Natural killer (NK) cells can derive from the same precursors as B and T cells, however, to achieve lineage specificity, several transcription factors need to be activated or annulled. While a few important transcription factors have been identified for NK genesis the mechanisms of how this is achieved is far from resolved. Adding to the complexity of this, NK cells are found and potentially de...

While during the first trimester of pregnancy natural killer (NK) cells represent the most abundant lymphocyte population in the decidua, their actual function at this site is still debated. In this study we analyzed NK cells isolated from decidual tissue for their surface phenotype and functional capability. We show that decidual NK (dNK) cells express normal surface levels of certain activati...

The awd gene of Drosophila melanogaster encodes a nucleoside diphosphate kinase. Killer of prune (Kpn) is a mutation in the awd gene which substitutes Ser for Pro at position 97 and causes dominant lethality in individuals that do not have a functional prune gene. This lethality is not due to an inadequate amount of nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase activity. In order to understand why the pr...

Natural killer (NK) cells have important functions in immunity. NK recognition in mammals can be mediated through killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) and/or killer cell lectin-like Ly49 receptors. Genes encoding highly variable NK cell receptors (NKR) represent rapidly evolving genomic regions. No single conservative model of NKR genes was observed in mammals. Single-copy low polymo...

the effect of natural killer (nk) cells and lymphokine activated killer ( lak) cells was studied on a group of human melanoma cell lines. peripheral blood from healthy volunteers was utilized as a fresh source of natural killer cells and rhi l-2 for producing lak cells. the cytotoxicity of effector cells was quantified using a 4 hour si determining the density of antigen expression on tumor cel...

The RAG endonuclease generates DNA double strand breaks during antigen receptor gene assembly, an essential process for B- and T-lymphocyte development. However, a recent study reveals that RAG endonuclease activity affects natural killer cell function, demonstrating that such double strand breaks, and the responses they elicit, may have broad cellular effects.
