The Impact of Cytomegalovirus Infection on Natural Killer and CD8+ T Cell Phenotype in Multiple Sclerosis

open access: yesBiology
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating neurological disease that has been classified as an immune-mediated attack on myelin, the protective sheath of nerves. Some aspects of its pathogenesis are still unclear; nevertheless, it is generally established

CNS1 demethylation occurs independent of CD57/sKIR expression and is stably imprinted in NKG2Chi NK cells.

open access: yes, 2014
(A–C) Phenotype and methylation status of the CNS1 was analyzed in ex vivo NKG2Chi NK cell expansions from representative HCMV+ donors (n = 4), as described in Figure 1.

Persistence of NKG2C+CD57+ NK cells in CHIKV-infected patients with high viral loads.

open access: yes, 2016
Results are grouped according to 1) type of infection: DENV-2, CHIKV or co-infected by CHIKV and DENV-2 (CHIKV/DENV-2), and non-infected Gabonese healthy controls (NI) and 2) date of sample collection after onset of symptoms: early acute (EA; day (D)0-D3)

Cytotoxic NKG2C+ CD4 T cells target oligodenfrocytes in Multiple Sclerosis

open access: yes, 2013
The mechanisms whereby immune cells infiltrating the central nervous system in multiple sclerosis (MS) contribute to tissue injury remain to be defined. CD4 T cells are implicated as key mediators of the deleterious inflammation observed in MS.

Chronic HIV-1 viremia reverses NKG2A/NKG2C ratio on natural killer cells in patients with human cytomegalovirus co-infection

open access: yes, 2010
Background: The HIV-1-induced expansion of highly dysfunctional natural killer (NK) cell subsets represents a strategy to evade NK cell antiviral functions.

NKG2C+ memory-like NK cells contribute to the control of HIV viremia during primary infection: Optiprim-ANRS 147

open access: yes, 2017
International audienceNatural-killer (NK) cells are important immune effectors during a viral infection. Latent CMV infection is widely spread and was demonstrated to shape the NK cell repertoire through the NKG2C receptor.

Expanded NKG2Chi NK cells display complete demethylation of the IFNG CNS1.

open access: yes, 2014
Analysis of surface marker expression and methylation status of the IFNG promoter and CNS1 was analyzed as described in Figure 1 in ex vivo NK cell subsets derived from representative HCMV− (n = 2) (A) or HCMV+ (n = 4) donors (B and C), without (B) or ...

Polycytotoxic T cells mediate antimicrobial activity against intracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis

open access: yesInfection and Immunity
Protection against infections with intracellular bacteria requires the interaction of macrophages and T-lymphocytes, including CD8+ T cells. Recently, the expression of natural killer cell receptors NKG2A and NKG2C was introduced as markers of CD8+ T ...

Single-cell analysis unravels the role of NK cells and monocytes in the control of SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections in vaccinated individuals

open access: yesHuman Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics
Analyzing the antiviral response of natural killer (NK) cells and monocytes is essential to understanding vaccine protection in an immunized population facing SARS-CoV-2 variant breakthrough infections (BTIs).
