NK lymphocytes participate in both innate and adaptive immunity by
their prompt secretion of cytokines including IFN-
, which activates
macrophages, and by their ability to lyse virally infected cells and
tumor cells without prior sensitization. Although these characteristics
of NK cells are well documented, little is known about the genetic
program that orchestrates NK development or about the signaling
pathways that trigger NK effector functions. By crossing NK-deficient
common
-chain (
c) and recombinase activating gene
(RAG)-2 mutant mice, we have generated a novel alymphoid
(B-, T-, and NK-) mouse strain
(RAG2/
c) suitable for NK complementation in vivo. The
role of the c-abl proto-oncogene in murine NK cell
differentiation has been addressed in hemopoietic chimeras generated
using RAG2/
c mice reconstituted with
c-abl-/- fetal liver cells. The
phenotypically mature NK cells that developed in the absence of
c-abl were capable of lysing tumor targets, recognizing
"missing self," and performing Ab-dependent cellular cytotoxicity.
Taken together, these results exclude any essential role for
c-abl in murine NK cell differentiation in vivo. The
RAG2/
c model thereby provides a novel approach to
establish a genetic map of NK cell development.
