YT Cell Line

Quick Overview

YT is a natural killer cell line derived from a patient with acute lymphoblastic lymphoma.

Detailed Summary

The YT cell line is a natural killer (NK) cell line established from a patient with acute lymphoblastic lymphoma. It is characterized by its expression of NK cell markers such as CD56 and CD16, and it does not express surface CD3. The cell line is used in research related to NK cell biology, leukemia, and lymphoma. It has been studied for its response to interleukin-2 (IL-2) and its receptor expression. The YT cell line is also noted for its ability to be cultured in vitro and its utility in studying the molecular mechanisms of NK cell function and malignancies. Research on the YT cell line has contributed to understanding the role of IL-2 receptors and their affinity in NK cell activation and proliferation.
