Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that possess features of adaptive immunity such as clonal expansion and generation of long-lived memory. Here we look at transcriptional profiles of NK cells throughout several time points during MCMV infection, ex-vivo cytokine stimulation, and/or deficiency of key transcription factors such as STAT4, STAT1, and Runx1. In addition, we profile parallel...

RNA-seq performed on NK cells harvested during in-vivo infection. Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that have been recently appreciated to display features of adaptive immunity in response to viral infection. Biallelic mutations in the IRF8 gene have been reported to cause familial NK cell deficiency and susceptibility to severe viral infection in humans; however, the precise role...

Summary from GEO: "NK cells represent a cellular component of the mammalian innate immune system, and mount rapid responses against viral infection, including the secretion of the potent anti-viral effector cytokine IFN-g. Following mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection, Bhlhe40 was the most highly induced transcription factor in NK cells among the basic helix-loop-helix family. Bhlhe40 upregulation...
