Siglec-9 defines and restrains a natural killer subpopulation highly cytotoxic to HIV-infected cells.

Siglec-9 is an MHC-independent inhibitory receptor expressed on a subset of natural killer (NK) cells. Siglec-9 restrains NK cytotoxicity by binding to sialoglycans (sialic acid-containing glycans) on target cells.
