DNAX accessory molecule-1 (DNAM-1, CD226) isa cell surface molecule capable of enhancing cytolytic activity and cytokine production in NK cells. Its ligands represented by two members of the nectin family: the poliovirus receptor (PVR CD155) and nectin-2 (CD112) [64]. Both molecules can be highly expressed in tumor cell lines, including carcinomas, melanomas and neuroblastomas.
Level of CD155 and CD112 expression on neuroblastoma cells derived from human patients correlated with their susceptibility to NK cellmediated killing

Coincubation of NK cells with ovarian carcinoma cells expressing the DNAM-1 ligand CD155 led to reduction of DNAM-1 expression.
