Structural basis for NKG2A/CD94 recognition of HLA-E [PDF]
The NKG2x/CD94 (x = A, C, E) natural killer-cell receptors perform an important role in immunosurveillance by binding to HLA-E complexes that exclusively present peptides derived from MHC class I leader sequences, thereby monitoring MHC class I expression.

Natural killer (NK) cells eliminate infected or cancer cells via their cytotoxic capacity. NKG2A is an inhibitory receptor on NK cells and cancer cells often overexpress its ligand HLA-E to evade NK cell surveillance. Given the successes of immune checkpoint blockade in cancer therapy, NKG2A is an interesting novel target.

NKG2A blocks the anti-metastatic functions of natural killer cells
Cancer Cell, 2023Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)-derived liver metastasis represents a major unmet medical need. Liu et al. show that circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from the hepatic portal vein (HPV), and not from primary or metastatic sites, are protected from natural killer (NK) cells through the NKG2A/HLA-E axis.

NKG2A Blockade Potentiates CD8 T Cell Immunity Induced by Cancer Vaccines [PDF]
Tumor-infiltrating CD8 T cells were found to frequently express the inhibitory receptor NKG2A, particularly in immune-reactive environments and after therapeutic cancer vaccination. High-dimensional cluster analysis demonstrated that NKG2A marks a unique immune effector subset preferentially co-expressing the tissue-resident CD103 molecule, but not ...
