Modulation of NKp30- and NKp46-mediated natural killer cell responses by poxviral hemagglutinin.
Natural killer (NK) cells are an important element in the immune defense against the orthopox family members vaccinia virus (VV) and ectromelia virus (ECTV). NK cells are regulated through inhibitory and activating signaling receptors, the latter involving NKG2D and the natural cytotoxicity receptor...
