---|---|
SLAMF7 is a self-ligand | (56–58) |
SLAMF7-S isoform lacking ITSM-like sequence | (59) |
NK cells activation upon SLAMF7 engagement with mAbs | (57–62) |
SLAMF7 preferentially recruits EAT-2 over SAP | (57, 61–65) |
EAT-2 stimulates calcium mobilization and ERK activation | (63, 66) |
SLAMF7 mediates inhibitory function in the absence of EAT-2 | (37, 61, 67) |
Memory-like NK cells lack EAT-2 | (68, 69) |
