Figure 6. Surface expression of ligands for activating NK cell receptors, i.e. NKG2D and DNAM-1, on resting and activated microglial cells.

Figure 6

NKG2D ligands were constitutively expressed on human microglial cells in vitro and downregulated following LPS stimulation (Fig. 6A). Microglia also constitutively expressed DNAM-1 ligands, poliovirus receptor (PVR) (Fig. 6B) and Nectin-2 (Fig. 6C), whose low expression remained, however, unchanged following LPS stimulation. Summarized data from three experiments are shown.
