Detection of Human NKG2C/CD159c/KLRC2 by Flow Cytometry Distribution of CD57+NKG2C+ NK frequencies in different groups. Flow cytometry was done on PBMC to assess CD57+NKG2C+ NK frequency by gating on lymphocytes, excluding CD3+ cells, gating on CD56dim cells, and plotting NKG2C versus CD57 expression. Horizontal lines bisecting groups represent medians with IQR shown above and below them. Significant differences between medians are shown above lines spanning the groups compared.

Detection of Human NKG2C/CD159c/KLRC2 by Flow Cytometry Frequency of responding NK cells across multiple stimulation conditions. a Top row: overall successive gating strategy demonstrates initial broad gating on forward and side scatter to include large lymphocytes. Forward area and height are used to discriminate single cells followed by identification of viable cells. Monocytes and B cells are excluded using CD14 and CD19, and T cells are excluded using CD3 and CD4. Bottom row: CD56 and CD16 are used to identify NK cells and changes in CD16 expression across stimulation conditions. Black gate is the total NK population and red gate is CD56 dim population. b A univariate analysis of the frequency of CD107a, INF-gamma, TNF, granzyme B, perforin, and eomesodermin expression from the total NK cell population as well as CD57 and CD8 expression are shown. c Pie charts of classic Boolean analysis of five functional markers measured (CD107a, IFN-gamma, TNF, granzyme B, and perforin). Comparison of pies and nonparametric partial permutation tests (Monte Carlo simulation) are performed to determine statistical significance between pies (p-value < 0.0001)69. d Graph of classic Boolean analysis of five functional markers measured. Four healthy subjects from four independent experiments in each stimulation condition are included. CD107a, IFN-gamma, and TNF are mock subtracted (i.e., stimulated condition − unstimulated result). Black bars represent the standard error mean (SEM) for each stimulation condition calculated as the variance of the sampling distribution obtained, equal to the variance of the population divided by the sample size Image collected and cropped by CiteAb from the following publication (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-03618-w), licensed under a CC-BY license.

Background: NKG2C/CD159c

Human NKG2C (NK cell Group 2 isoform C; Killer cell lectin-like receptor subfamily C, member 2) is a member of the C-type lectin-like superfamily of proteins. Natural killer (NK) receptors are expressed in both NK cells and cytotoxic CD8+ T cells and have both activating and inhibitory members (1-3). Regulation of the balance between the activating and inhibitory receptors is important and lack of such regulation has been implicated in autoimmunity (4). The NKG2 family includes seven receptors: NKG2A, -B, -C, -D, -E, -F, and -H, which is the longer isoform of NKG2E. Except for NKG2D and NKG2F, the NKG2 family members form heterodimers with CD94 (5, 6). NKG2C interacts with the adapter molecule DAP12 and acts as activating receptor when heterodimerized with CD94 (7). Human NKG2C is synthesized as a 231 amino acid (aa) protein that includes a 70 aa cytoplasmic domain, a 23 aa transmembrane segment, and a 138 aa extracellular domain (ECD). Within the ECD, human NKG2C shares 40% sequence identity with mouse NKG2C. NKG2C-CD94 heterodimers bind to the widely expressed nonclassical MHC-I molecule, HLA-E (Qa-1b in mouse), which presents a peptide derived from the signal peptide of classical MHC-I molecules (8, 9). Triggering the NKG2C-CD94 complex may activate the cytolytic activity and cytokine production of NK and CD8+ T cells (8, 10). Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection promotes the differentiation and expansion of NKG2C+ NK cell subsets, possibly involving a cognate interaction of CD94/NKG2C with ligand(s) displayed by HCMV‑infected cells (11, 12).
