Abstract

NK cell responses are regulated by a balance of inhibitory and activating signals, reflecting the net effect of interactions between receptors and ligands on target and effector cell surfaces. The identification of ligands for orphan NK cell receptors is key to enhancing our understanding of NK cell biology. Here we describe a strategy (protocol) for the identification of ligands for orphan NK cell receptors using signaling reporter cells in combination with a virus rescue system.
