More Details: |
‘Missing self’ is a mode of natural killer (NK) cell activation aimed to detect the lack of HLA-I molecules on infected or neoplastic cells. Here, the authors show that mismatch between donor HLA-I and cognate receptors on recipient NK cells mediates microvascular inflammation-associated graft rejection, a pathology that is preventable by mTOR inhibition. |
