Konvergente Evolution: 2 unterschiedliche Rezeptorklassen für gleiche Funktion In Mensch und Maus keine funktionellen KIR´s keine funktionellen Ly49
NKG2-D and stress / viral infection / tumors 3 Liganden hochreguliert bei Stress, Virusinfektion, in Tumorzellen: MIC-A, -B RAEs ULBPs CMV immune evasion strategies
HCMV: reguliert MHC class I hinunter UL40 Peptid bringt HLA-E wieder hoch / inhibitive CD94/NKG2A Interaktion UL18 ist MHC class I mimic / KIR Interaktion
HCMV: UL16 inhibiert ULBP und MIC Interaktion mit NKG2D
Some new concepts: NK cells and dendritic cells NK/T cells NK cells and tumors Acquisition of receptor repertoire
„NK“ receptors on T lymphocytes and other cell types KIR und CD94/NKG2A /NKG2C: nur NK cells und Subpopulations von NKT cells ILT, LAIR, NKG2D: auch auf anderen Leukozyten Monocyten, Makrophagen, dendritischen Zellen, B Zellen
Acquisition of receptor repertoire Hypothesis: NK cell education (not really understood) each NK cell has several inhibitory and activating receptors, developing NK cell initiates inhibitory receptor gene expression in a sequential, cumulative and stochastic fashion class I deficient mice: NK cells are tolerant „at least one“ hypothesis: formation of repertoire regulated such that „at least one“ inhibitory receptor for one or another self MHC is present
Possibility: first stimulatory receptors, induce expression inhibitory receptors until zero sum between stimulation and Inhibition Question: NK cells are alloreactive but self-tolerant, how ??
