A murine intestinal intraepithelial NKp46-negative innate lymphoid cell population characterized by group 1 properties
2017
The Ly49E receptor is preferentially expressed on murine innate-like lymphocytes, such as epidermal Vγ3 T cells, intestinal intraepithelial CD8αα(+) T lymphocytes, and CD49a(+) liver natural killer (NK) cells. As the latter have recently been shown to be distinct from conventional NK cells and have innate lymphoid cell type 1 (ILC1) properties, we investigated Ly49E expression on intestinal ILC populations. Here, we show that Ly49E expression is very low on known ILC populations, but it can be used to define a previously unrecognized intraepithelial innate lymphoid population. This Ly49E-positive population is negative for NKp46 and CD8αα, expresses CD49a and CD103, and requires T-bet expre…
K Cell Activity of Normal and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia Lymphocytes: Association with Lymphocytes bearing Receptors for Human C3b
1977
Surface properties of effector cells in antibody-dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) are at present under intensive investigation. Among these cells a lymphocyte population (K cells) has been described with receptors for the Fc portion of IgG (4), receptors for complement (11) and lacking receptors for sheep red blood cells (SRBC) and surface immunoglobulin (13). The purpose of the present study was to investigate more thoroughly the relationship between K cell activity in ADCC and cells bearing receptors for C3b and C3d.
Immune pathway upregulation and lower genomic instability distinguish EBV-positive nodal T/NK-cell lymphoma from ENKTL and PTCL-NOS
2022
Primary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive nodal T/NK-cell lymphoma (PTCL-EBV) is a poorly understood disease which shows features resembling extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) and is currently not recognized as a distinct entity but categorized as a variant of primary T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS). Herein, we analyzed copynumber aberrations (n=77) with a focus on global measures of genomic instability and homologous recombination deficiency and performed gene expression (n=84) and EBV miRNA expression (n=24) profiling as well as targeted mutational analysis (n=16) to further characterize PTCL-EBV in relation to ENKTL and PTCL-NOS. Multivariate analysis revealed that …
