Inhibitory receptors that recognize MHC class I molecules regulate NK cell responses and self-tolerance. Recent evidence indicates that self-ligands not present in the MHC locus also can modulate NK function. In this study, we show that an inhibitory receptor that recognizes an MHC-independent ligand is over expressed in SHIP^–/– mice at all stages of NK development and differentiation. Overexpression of this receptor compromises key cytolytic NK functions, including killing of allogeneic, tumor, and viral targets. These results further demonstrate the critical role that SHIP plays in regulation of the NK receptor repertoire and show that regulation of MHC-independent inhibitory receptors is crucial for NK recognition and cytolysis of complex targets.
