Most of the natural killer cell p46-related protein (NKp46) and NK cell Lectin-like receptor subfamily A (Ly49A) molecules were restricted to microdomains; however, individual NKp46 molecules resided in these domains for shorter periods and diffused faster on the surface of educated, compared to hyporesponsive, NK cells. | Educated natural killer cells show dynamic movement of the activating receptor NKp46 and confinement of the inhibitory receptor Ly49A.
