Identification of novel chicken CD4+ CD3− blood population with NK cell like features. Issue 1 (March 2015) - Neulen, Marie-Luise
Highlights A novel NK cell like subset is described in chicken blood. It is characterized by expression of high levels of the chicken Fc receptor CHIR-AB1, as well as other chicken NK cell markers. The cell subsets lacks B cell markers, and CD3, but expresses low CD4 levels. PMA stimulation induced high levels of IFNγ release.
