Ly108, the mouse homologue of human SLAMF6 (signaling lymphocyte activation molecule family member 6), is expressed on NK cells, B cells, and T cells. Engagement of the Ly108 receptor enhances NK cell activity and increases the expression of IFN-gamma. This receptor plays a role in the inability of NK cells to kill Epstein Barr virus-infected B cells in X-linked lymphoproliferative disease. In Ly108 knock-out mice, CD4+ T cells show a diminished ability to produce IL-4 and exhibit defective neutrophil functions, indicating the importance of Ly108 in immune regulation and cellular function. Overall, Ly108 is crucial for modulating immune responses and maintaining effective immune cell activity.
