The interaction between natural killer (NK) cell and dendritic cell (DC), two important cellular
components of innate immunity, started to be elucidated in the last years. The crosstalk …

Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes involved in immunosurveillance through
their cytotoxic activity and their capacity to secrete inflammatory cytokines. NK cell activation …

Since their discovery, our understanding of NK cells has evolved from branding them
marginal innate immunity cells to key players in anti-viral and anti-tumor immunity …

Natural killer (NK) cells are potent immune effector cells that can respond to infection and
cancer, as well as allowing maternal adaptation to pregnancy. In response to malignant …

It is now evident that NK cells kill bacteria, fungi, and parasites in addition to tumor and virus-
infected cells. In addition to a number of recent publications that have identified the …

The immune system is classically divided into innate and adaptive. Adaptive immunity can
be defined by the presence of cells (ie, T and B lymphocytes in higher vertebrates) that …

The natural killer complex (NKC) is a genetic region of highly linked genes encoding several
receptors involved in the control of NK cell function. The NKC is highly polymorphic, and …

Natural killer (NK) cells, as fundamental components of innate immunity, can quickly react to
abnormalities within the body. In-depth research has revealed that NK cells possess …

Natural killer (NK) cells were discovered ca 1975, as the first group of lymphoid cells that
were neither T cells nor B cells. Since then, the dissection of the biology of NK cells has …

Human Natural Killer cells express a large array of surface receptors that are involved in the
regulation of the different NK cell functions. Some of these receptors, by sensing the …
