Concept explainers
(A)
To write:
Describe the ligand for the NK-cell receptor CD94: NKG2A.
Introduction:
The activation of NK cells is conducted by the expression of different activating as well as, inhibitory receptors in a manner, which prevents the NK cells from attacking the normal cells. CD94: NKG2A complex develops inhibitory signals due to the presence of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motives (ITIM) in the cytoplasmic tail of NKG2A, enable recruitment of tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1, SHP-2, or SHIP that inactivate signaling cascade of NK-cell activation.
(B)
To write:
The concentration of this ligand on the target cell an effective measure of the presence or absence of classical MHC class I molecules.
Introduction:
The activation of NK cells is conducted by the expression of different activating as well as, inhibitory receptors in a manner, which prevents the NK cells from attacking the normal cells. CD94: NKG2A complex develops inhibitory signals due to the presence of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motives (ITIM) in the cytoplasmic tail of NKG2A, enable recruitment of tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1, SHP-2, or SHIP that inactivate signaling cascade of NK-cell activation.
(C)
To write:
The Reason, this ligand considered a broad mechanism for the NK-cell detection of unhealthy cells that is relatively insensitive to MHC class I polymorphisms.
Introduction:
The activation of NK cells is conducted by the expression of different activating as well as, inhibitory receptors in a manner, which prevents the NK cells from attacking the normal cells.
