Abstract
Natural killer (NK)-cell killing of virus-infected cells is regulated in part by the engagement of activation and coactivation receptors. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Shah et al. (2010) demonstrate that HIV-1 protects infected cells from NK-cell-mediated killing by hindering NK-cell degranulation through downmodulation of NTB-A coactivation receptor ligands by the Vpu accessory protein.Entities:
