Abstract
Applying high-throughput proteomic analysis of mammalian cells can facilitate the identification of a large number of proteins expressed in the examined samples. Moreover, extensive research efforts are being made to perform large-scale characterization of membrane proteins. Here we use mass spectrometry-based proteomic strategy to characterize protein expression in membrane-enriched fractions derived from human NK lymphoma cell line YTS. This query yielded a list of over 1000 identified proteins, and provided us with new insights on NK cell biology. We highlight the expression of CD86 on YTS and its ability to co-stimulate TCR responses of human CD4+ T-cells, providing an unexpected link between innate and adaptive immune systems.
