Journal ArticleDOI

Human antimicrobial cytotoxic T lymphocytes, defined by NK receptors and antimicrobial proteins, kill intracellular bacteria

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that CD8+ CTLs expressing granzyme B, perforin, and granulysin, as well as activating NK receptor NKG2C, represent a population of "antimicrobial CTL" (amCTLs) capable of T cell receptor (TCR)-dependent and TCR-independent release of cytotoxic granule proteins that mediate antimicrobial activity.
Journal Article

Unusual uniformity of the N-linked oligosaccharides of HLA-A, -B, and -C glycoproteins.

TL;DR: The uniformity of oligosaccharide structure associated with different HLA-A, -B, and -C products and the relative lack of heterogeneity for any given allotype are unusual features for a mammalian glycoprotein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential effects of interleukin-3, interleukin-7, interleukin 15, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor in the generation of natural killer and B cells from primitive human fetal liver progenitors

TL;DR: Findings indicate a differential regulation of NK and B lymphopoiesis beginning in the early stages of hematopoiedis as exemplified by the distinctive roles of IL-7, IL-15, GM-CSF, and IL-3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development and function of CD94-deficient natural killer cells.

TL;DR: The expression of CD94 and its associated NKG2A,NKG2C, and NKG 2E subunits is dispensable for NK cell development, education, and many NK cell functions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Do the terms innate and adaptive immunity create conceptual barriers

TL;DR: New data showing that innate immune cells can have memory characteristics make a strict binary classification between innate and adaptive immunity meaningless, according to Lewis Lanier and Joseph Sun.
