Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) may cause severe infections in lung transplant recipients (LTRs). In response to HCMV infections, a subset of NKG2C+ NK cells expands, which limits HCMV replication and is characterized by high expression of the activating NKG2C/CD94 and absence of the inhibitory NKG2A/CD94 receptor. Both receptors bind to HLA-E, which is stabilized by HCMV-encoded UL40 peptides. HLA-E and UL40 occur as different genetic variants. In this study, we investigated the interplay between the human NK cell response and the infe
