Genetically distinct inbred strains of mice that differ in their susceptibility to mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) are invaluable for dissecting complex host-pathogen interactions. Their study has allowed the identification of host-resistance loci, including several activating NK cell receptors of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I. In this chapter, we provide a practical guide to the genetic mapping and functional characterization of NK cell receptors that control innate immunity against MCMV via specific recognition of infected cells.
对小鼠巨细胞病毒(MCMV)易感性不同的基因不同的近交系小鼠,对于剖析复杂的宿主 - 病原体相互作用而言非常宝贵。对它们的研究已使宿主抗性基因座得以鉴定,包括主要组织相容性复合体(MHC)I类的几种激活自然杀伤(NK)细胞受体。在本章中,我们提供了一份实用指南,用于通过对感染细胞的特异性识别来控制针对MCMV的固有免疫的NK细胞受体的遗传定位和功能表征。
