Human cytomegalovirus infection elicits new decidual natural killer cell effector functions

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Johan Siewiera et al. from the Toulouse, FranceEditor: Stipan Jonjic, University of Rijeka, Croatia have published the paper: Human Cytomegalovirus Infection Elicits New Decidual Natural Killer Cell Effector Functions, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors investigated whether dNK cells could be involved in controlling viral spreading and in protecting the fetus against congenital HCMV infection. The authors demonstrate that CD56pos dNK cells are able to infiltrate HCMV-infected trophoblast organ culture ex-vivo and to co-localize with infected cells in situ in HCMV-infected placenta. The authors demonstrate the acquisition of cytotoxic . . .
