摘要: Previously, we showed that 2B4 is a dominant inhibitory receptor in SHIP-deficient NK cells prevents efficient cytolysis of complex targets. We show this study deficiency restores homeostatic control and cytolytic function to cells. However, 2B4(-/-)SHIP(-/-) still exhibit profound disruption their repertoire are compromised for induction IFN-gamma by several NK-activating receptors, including NKp46, NK.1.1, NKG2D. In addition, find 2B4(-/-) have an extensively disrupted repertoire, supernormal frequency NKp46(+) Consequently induced on much higher percentage following engagement NKp46. also both SHIP required prevent expression Ly49B, myeloid lineage MHC class I not normally expressed the lineage. Finally, when H-2(d) background, they levels Ly49A possess normal against MHC-matched tumor targets enhanced mismatched despite or elevated function, H2d SHIP(-/-) poor like H2b(+) counterparts, demonstrating uniform requirement downstream key activating receptors. These findings reveal interplay SHIP, 2B4, regulation homeostasis, effector formation cell
