Figure 4

The expression of UL16 is sufficient to affect the surface expression of MICB, an NKG2D ligand. CV1-MICB cells (see methods), either uninfected (A) or infected with vaccinia WR (B), vaccinia UL16 (C) or vaccinia ICP47 (D). Cells were stained with either human Ig (solid line) or NKG2D-Ig protein (filled histogram) and analysed by flow cytometry. Surface expression of MICB is lost in the presence of UL16.
