Information regarding the role of natural killer (NK) cells in the response to viruses,
intracellular bacteria and parasites continues to emerge. NK cells can directly lyse infected …

Natural killer (NK) cells play a key role in innate host defense against viruses. Significant
progress has been made in understanding the specific response of NK cells during viral …

Natural killer (NK) cells are important for early immune responses to viral infections and
cancer. Upon activation, NK cells secrete cytokines and chemokines, and kill sensitive target …

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 cells are lymphocytes of the innate immune system that can kill an array of
tumor and infected cells and secrete cytokines that participate in the shaping of the adaptive …

Natural killer (NK) cells serve as a crucial first line of defense against tumors and a diverse
range of pathogens. Recognition of infection by NK cells is accomplished by the activation of …

Natural killer (NK) cells are important mediators of the immune response against microbial
pathogens and tumors. There is growing evidence from mouse and human studies that, NK …

Initially described as effectors of natural cytotoxicity and critical players for the control of viral
infections and tumor growth, recent investigations unraveled more widespread functions for …

Natural killer (NK) cells are important innate effectors in immunity. NK cells also have a role
in the regulation of the adaptive immune response, and have been shown, in different …

Natural killer (NK) cells, as part of the innate immune system, play a key role in host defense
against viral infections. Recent advances have indicated that NK cell activation and function …
