International audience. NK cells are considered as prototypical innate immune cells. However, recent discoveries have tended to refine the dogmatic concepts of innate and adaptive immunity. In many ways, NK cells are highly related to T cells and represent the closest innate immune cell lineage to adaptive immune cell populations. Here, we review the relationships between NK cells and T cells and discuss the recently described cell-intrinsic-adaptive features of NK cells.

Fate mapping analysis of lymphoid cells expressing the NKp46 cell surface receptor.

Archive ouverte | Narni-Mancinelli, Emilie | CCSD

International audience. NKp46 is a cell surface receptor expressed on natural killer (NK) cells, on a minute subset of T cells, and on a population of innate lymphoid cells that produce IL-22 and express the transcr...

Confinement of activating receptors at the plasma membrane controls natural killer cell tolerance.
