| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we identified a transcriptional start sites and its promoter structure of CD94, NKG2D and NCR2. The effects of IL-2 treatment for the Glycan-dependent cytotoxicity on NK cells was studied:
(1) Expression of NKG2A was decreased on KHYG cells-treated with IL-2. (2) The CD94-NKG2A complexes did not colocalized with GM1 at the cell membrane in KHYG cells-treated with IL-2.
This study suggests that the NKG2D signals was enhanced by the inhibition of signal transduction from NKG2A by glycan ligand in NK cells with IL-2, resulting that the glycan-dependent cytotoxicity was induced.
