Specific recognition of the viral protein UL18 by CD85j/LIR-1/ILT2 on CD8+ T cells mediates the non MHC-restricted lysis of hCMV-infected cells.

SAVERINO, DANIELE GHIOTTO, FABIO GIUSEPPE BRUNO, SILVIA

Immune evasion mechanisms of human CMV are known; however, the immune control of infection remains poorly elucidated. We show that interaction between the viral protein UL18 on infected cells and the invariant receptor CD85j/LIR-1/ILT2 expressed on CTL is relevant for the control of infection. Resting and activated CD8 T cells lysed UL18...
