Overcoming CD226-related immune evasion in acute myeloid leukemia with CD38 CAR-engineered NK cells

Cell Reports
Summary: CD226 plays a vital role in natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity, interacting with its ligands CD112 and CD155 to initiate immune synapse formation, primarily through leukocyte function-associated-1 (LFA-1). Our study examined the role of CD226

Short communication: NKG2C+ NK cells contribute to increases in CD16+CD56- cells in HIV type 1+ individuals with high plasma viral load. [PDF]

, 2012
Chronic HIV-1 infection results in the expansion of both NKG2C+ and CD16+CD56- human natural killer cells. NKG2C+ cells proliferate in response to human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and expansion of the dysfunctional CD56-CD16+ natural killer (NK) cells is ...

Compartmentalized Cyclic AMP Production by the Bordetella pertussis and Bacillus anthracis Adenylate Cyclase Toxins Differentially Affects the Immune Synapse in T Lymphocytes

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
A central feature of the immune synapse (IS) is the tight compartmentalization of membrane receptors and signaling mediators that is functional for its ability to coordinate T cell activation.
