title: Expression and function of NK cell receptors in CD8+ T cells.
abstract: A wide variety of inhibitory and stimulatory NK cell receptors are expressed by some CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes in mice and humans. Recent data address the induction of these receptors on activated or memory CD8+ T cells and have led to hypotheses addressing their function in the CD8+ T cell response.
