Inhibitory receptor signaling destabilizes immunological synapse formation in primary NK cells
Upon engagement of their cognate class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) ligands, receptors containing immunotyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs) transduce signals that block cytolytic and inflammatory responses. In this manner, ITIM-coupled receptors play a crucial role in maintaining n...
