Iron and Ferritin Modulate MHC Class I Expression and NK Cell Recognition

Iron and Ferritin Modulate MHC Class I Expression and NK Cell Recognition

The ability of pathogens to sequester iron from their host cells and proteins affects their virulence. Moreover, iron is required for various innate host defense mechanisms as well as for acquired immune responses. Therefore, intracellular iron concentration may influence the interplay between patho...
