Characterization of a novel gene (NKG7) on human chromosome 19 that is expressed in natural killer cells and T cells

MA Turman, T Yabe, C McSherry, FH Bach… - Human immunology, 1993 - Elsevier
NKG7 is a cDNA clone generated from a human NK-cell clone. The DNA and predicted aa
sequence of NKG7 is not homologous with any previously reported genes or peptides.
NKG7 mRNA is expressed in activated T cells in A-LAK cells isolated from the peripheral
blood of normal individuals, and in normal human kidney, liver, lung and pancreas.
Furthermore, NKG7 mRNA is expressed at high levels in TCRγδ-expressing CTL clones,
and in some TCRαβ-expressing CTL clones (both CD4+ and CD8+), but is not expressed in …
