Abstract
Paradigm-shifting studies have identified NKG2C(+) adaptive natural killer (NK) cells in individuals infected with cytomegalovirus. Recently in Cell Reports, Liu et al. demonstrate that NKG2C(-/-) HCMV(+) individuals also generate adaptive NK cells, and reveal CD2 as a major co-stimulatory receptor for these NK cells specialized to respond via FcγRIIIa/CD16.Entities:
