Sialic-acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin-7 (Siglec-7) is a natural killer (NK) cell inhibitory receptor associated with NK phenotypic and functional abnormalities in HIV-1 infection. We investigated the significance of NK-expressed and serum soluble Siglec-7 in relation to NK functional ability and parameters of liver necroinflammation and fibrosis in chronic HCV infection.

Abstract

Sialic-acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin-7 (Siglec-7) is a natural killer (NK) cell inhibitory receptor associated with NK phenotypic and functional abnormalities in HIV-1 infection. We investigated the significance of NK-expressed and serum soluble Siglec-7 in relation to NK functional ability and parameters of liver necroinflammation and fibrosis in chronic HCV infection.
