The Roles of Siglec7 and Siglec9 on Natural Killer Cells in Virus Infection and Tumour Progression by Yayun Zheng, Xue Ma, Dongmei Su, Yue Zhang, Lin Yu, Fangfei Jiang, Xue Zhou, Ying Feng, Fang Ma

“…The function of natural killer (NK) cells, defending against virus infection and tumour progression, is regulated by multiple activating and inhibiting receptors expressed on NK cells, among which sialic acid-bind immunoglobulin-like lectins (Siglecs) act as a vital inhibitory group. Previous studies have shown that Siglec7 and Siglec9 are expressed on NK cells, which negatively regulate the function of NK cells and modulate the immune response through the interaction of sialic acid-containing ligands. …”
