[HTML][HTML] Characteristics of HLA-E restricted T-cell responses and their role in infectious diseases
Journal of immunology research, 2016•hindawi.com
Human HLA-E can, in addition to self-antigens, also present pathogen-derived sequences,
which elicit specific T-cell responses. T-cells recognize their antigen presented by HLA-E
highly specifically and have unique functional and phenotypical properties. Pathogen
specific HLA-E restricted CD8+ T-cells are an interesting new player in the field of
immunology. Future work should address their exact roles and relative contributions in the
immune response against infectious diseases.
