Influences of two different HLA-B antigens on receptors expression of NK cells from peripheral blood lymphocytes / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate influences of two different HLA-B antigens expressed on K562 cells on receptors expression of NK cells from peripheral blood lymphocytes.Methods:Studied the alteration of the percentage of CD16+CD56+ cells and the percentage of KIR3DL1+ cells before and after PBMC interaction with K562 cells for 24 hours,and also compared the percentage of CD16+CD56+ cells and the percentage of KIR3DL1+ cells after PBMC interaction with two different kind of K562 cells transfected with HLA-B39 and HLA-B51 respectively.Results:After PBMCs were incubated with K562 cells for 24 hours,the percentage of CD16+CD56+ cells and the percentage of KIR3DL1+ cells were both increased.However,after PBMCs were incubated with K562-HLA-B51 cells for 24 hours,the percentage of KIR3DL1+ cells and the percentage of CD16+CD56+ cells were both decreased in comparison with that interaction with K562-HLA-B39 cells.Conclusion:CD16 up-regulation was associated with an up-regulation of inhibitory receptors(KIR3DL1).The interaction between HLA-Bw4 and KIR3DL1 would down-regulate the expression of KIR3DL1.In addition,KIR3DL1 down-regulation was associated with down-regulation of activating receptors(CD16).
