- A study involving 22 patients (11 with EBV reactivation and 11 controls) found that EBV infection leads to an increase in specific NK cell subsets (CD56 and NKG2AKIR), while reducing their overall ability to kill infected cells.
- The research indicated that older donor age raises the risk of EBV infection, but patients with younger donors showed a quicker NK cell response and better EBV clearance, highlighting the significance of DNAM-
