Here, we show that in the antibody - mediated autoimmune disease pemphigus vulgaris (PV), autoantigen - based chimeric immunoreceptors can direct T cells to kill autoreactive B lymphocytes through the specificity of the B cell receptor (BCR). (science.sciencemag.org)
For example, if a normal cell is infected with a virus, it will display molecules on its surface that the NKG2D immunoreceptor can detect. (scienceandtechnologyresearchnews.com)
NKG2D is a type of immunoreceptor — a molecule present on the surface of the body's immune cells that recognises signals from normal cells that are distressed. (scienceandtechnologyresearchnews.com)
