BackgroundNatural killer (NK cells) are cytotoxic lymphocytes that are members of the innate immune system. As such, they lack the antigen specificity of T and B cells but recognize cells that have downregulated human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I and upregulated markers of cell stress, such as MICA, MICB, ULBP-1, and the polio virus receptor. Because loss of class I and expression of these stress ligands often occurs during viral infection and cancer, NK cells are important components of both antiviral defense and tumor immunosurveillance. NK-cell recognition of potential target cells relies on the ability to detect missing self, as initially proposed by Klause Kärre. 1 During surveillance in the peripheral blood, secondary lymphoid organs, and tissue, killer immunoglobulinlike receptors (KIRs) on NK cells recognize HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C expressed by putative targets. Binding of the KIR to its cognate class I HLA molecule delivers an inhibitory signal to the NK cell via phosphorylation of ITIM (immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif) motifs in the KIR’s cytosolic domain (Fig. 1, top). Subsequent recruitment of the SHP-1 tyrosine phosphatase results in suppression of NK-cell effector function and prevents the NK cell from killing the target. However, when an NK cell encounters a virally infected cell or tumor cell that has downregulated class I HLA, the inhibitory KIR-HLA signal is not delivered. If there is a concurrent, activating signal delivered through interaction of a cell stress ligand with its cognate, activating receptor on the NK cell, then NK effector functions can proceed (see Fig. 1, bottom).
