Popis: BTLA is established as a negative regulator of natural killer T (NKT) cell function, and share its ligand HVEM with CD160. Here the authors show, by analyzing NKT activation in CD160-deficient mice or with BTLA blockade, that CD160 synergizes with BTLA to negatively regulate NKT cells during hepatic injury.
