IFN-gamma protects short-term ovarian carcinoma cell lines from CTL lysis via a CD94/NKG2A-dependent mechanism.
IFN-gamma regulates the immunogenicity of target cells by increasing their expression of HLA class I molecules. This facilitates the T cell receptor-mediated recognition by CD8(+) T cells but decreases target cell sensitivity to lysis by NK cells due to engagement of inhibitory NK receptors. In this...
