Modulation of T-bet and Eomes during Maturation of Peripheral Blood NK cells Does Not Depend on Licensing/Educating KIR

Peripheral NK cells upregulate T-bet and downregulate Eomes, the key transcription factors regulating NK cell maturation and function during the last maturation steps toward terminally differentiated effector cells. During this process, NK cells acquire killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) and...
