Molecular cloning of the NK1.1 antigen, a member of the NKR-P1 family of natural killer cell activation molecules.

In mice, the NK1.1 alloantigen is expressed on all NK cells and it initiates transmembrane signals that activate cytotoxicity. NK1.1 has been mapped to a chromosomal region that encodes two families of receptor-like molecules, the NKR-P1 family and the Ly-49 family. Both of these gene families encode type II integral membrane proteins whose extracellular domains are homologous with known C-type lectins. We have isolated and expressed a member of the NKR-P1 gene family (mNKR-P1.9) and have demonstrated both by immunofluorescence and by immunoprecipitation that this cDNA encodes NK1. 1. These findings, which demonstrate the receptor-like structure of NK1.1, will facilitate studies regarding the role of NK1.1 in natural killing and regarding the identification of possible NK1.1 ligands.[1]
