Journal ArticleDOI

Shades of grey — the blurring view of innate and adaptive immunity

TL;DR: This special issue of Nature Reviews Immunology focuses on the types of lymphocyte that blur the traditional boundaries between the innate and adaptive immune systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Membrane anchoring of a human IgG Fc receptor (CD16) determined by a single amino acid.

TL;DR: The primary structural requirements for PI-linkage were examined by constructing a series of hybrid cDNA molecules that encode membrane glycoproteins anchored by phosphatidylinositol (PI)-glycan and transmembrane polypeptides, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

NK cell regulation of T cell-mediated responses.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that activated human NK cells are able of promoting TcR-dependent proliferation of resting autologous peripheral blood CD4(+) T cells by a process that involves costimulatory molecules of the immunoglobulin (Ig) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamilies, suggesting a novel link between natural and adaptative immune responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

DAP12: an adapter protein with dual functionality.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that DAP12 can suppress as well as activate NK cells and that this ability to inhibit myeloid functions is also demonstrated.
