## Abstract NK cell‐mediated resistance to murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) is controlled by allelic Ly49 receptors, including activating Ly49H (C57BL/6 strain) and inhibitory Ly49I (129 strain), which specifically recognize MCMV m157, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol‐linked protein with homology to MHC
Introduction of the MHC class I transgene H-2D d on C57BL/6 (B6) background conveys NK cell-mediated "missing self" reactivity against transgene-negative cells, and down-regulates expression of the inhibitory receptors Ly49A and Ly49G2 in NK cells. We here present an analysis of transgenic mice expr
