## Abstract A subset of CD8^+^ T cells express the natural killer cell receptors CD94:NKG2A or CD94:NKG2C. We found that although many CD8^+^ T cells transcribe CD94 and NKG2C, expression of a functional CD94:NKG2C receptor is restricted to highly differentiated effector cells. CD94:NKG2A is expres

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were prepared from human immunodeficiency virus-positive (HIV ؉ ) individuals (n ؍ 46) to investigate the expression of both chains of the interleukin-2 receptor. Both qualitative and quantitative changes in expression were observed. Total lymphocyte expression o
In cancer patients, NK cell inhibitory receptors (IR) are expressed on a fraction of melanomaspecific lymphocytes with a unique reactivity for tumor antigens derived from normal, nonmutated genes (differentiation antigens). It is presently not known whether expression of these receptors is induced d
