This study focuses on the differential role of CD40 and CD80 costimulatory molecules and major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) antigens in the regulation of the interplay between dendritic cells (DCs) and interleukin (IL)-2-activated human natural killer (NK) lymphocytes. Our data indicate that CD40 and CD80 molecules might play a preferential role in the induction of cytotoxic function but not in the interferon-gamma(IFN-gamma) production by human IL-2-activated NK effectors in the presence of autologous and allogeneic DCs. In addition, a critical role of CD94-dependent MHC-I recognition in the regulation of both IFN-gamma production and target cell lysis was shown in the functional interaction between NK and DCs.
