Critical functions for STAT5 tetramers in the maturation and survival of natural killer cells

Abstract Interleukin-15 (IL-15) is essential for the development and maintenance of natural killer (NK) cells. IL-15 activates STAT5 proteins, which can form dimers or tetramers. We previously found that NK cell numbers are decreased in Stat5a−Stat5b tetramer-deficient double knockin (DKI) mice, but...
