Introduction

[edit]

Human

Natural cytotoxicity receptors NKp30, NKp44, NKp46 are three of the most important triggering receptors found an NK cells. NCRs are expected to directly recognize molecules on tumor cells, thus activating NK cells and lysis tumors. Poggi et al (2005 [1]) report that NCRs not only are responsible for NK cell activation but are also envolved in NK cell suicide: Crosslinking of NKp30 and NKp46 (to a lesser extent NKp44) induced upregulation of FasL mRNA in NK cells, release of FasL protein to the culture supernatant and percentage of apoptotic cells (by Annexin V staining). Soluble anti-NCR antibodies did not induce apoptosis.

A cellular ligand for NKp30 has been identified by von Strandmann et al. (ASH 2006): HLA-B-Associated Transkript 3 (BAT3). BAT3 exhibits a novel mechanism by which a nuclear protein activates NK cells via NKp30-engagement after its release to the cell-surface and the cell environment.

[edit]

Rat

NKp30 has also been identified in rats. RNKp30 is a glycosylated Natural Killer cell receptor and has limited polymorphism (5 SNPs identified; Hsieh, Transplantation 2004). Polyclonal (CA680, CA1071) and monoclonal (Stanford Docket S04-250) antibodies against rNKp30 have been generated.

A homologue to human NKp46 (termed RAR-1) has been identified in rats (Falco, 1999 [2]). Similar to humans, rNKp46 is an activating receptor associated with CD3{zeta} (Westgaard, 2004 [3]).

[edit]

Mouse

MAR-1 has been described as the murine homologue to human NKp46 (Biassoni et al., Eur.J.Immunol., 1999 [4])

[edit]

Cattle

NKp46 has also been identified as NK cell specific marker in cattle (Storset, Eur.J.Immunol. 2004 [5])
