Natural killer (NK) cells are important in protection against virus infections, and many viruses
have evolved mechanisms to thwart NK cell activity. NK cells respond to inflammatory …

Natural killer (NK) cells possess potent cytolytic activity and secrete immune modulating
cytokines. The large repertoire of NK cell receptors provides versatility for the identification of …

Understanding how signals are integrated to control natural killer (NK) cell responsiveness
in the absence of antigen-specific receptors has been a challenge, but recent work has …

The past decade has witnessed important progress in our understanding of how natural
killer (NK) cells function. This is primarily consequent to the identification and functional …

Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphoid cells that mediate significant cytotoxic activity and
produce high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in response to infection. During viral …

In light of their role in the immune response against tumors and viruses, natural killer (NK)
cells represent a promising target for immunotherapy. Before this target is reached, the …

Natural killer cells are innate immune cells that control certain microbial infections and
tumours. The function of natural killer cells is regulated by a balance between signals …

The participation of natural killer (NK) cells in multiple aspects of innate and adaptive
immune responses is supported by the wide array of stimulatory and inhibitory receptors …

Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that are important for early and effective immune
responses against infections and cancer. In the last 40 years, many receptors, their …

Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that participate in different facets of immunity. They
can act as innate sentinels through recognition and eradication of infected or transformed …
