Cell adhesion is a dynamic process regulating diverse and complex functions such as
proliferation and differentiation. Lymphocyte adhesion to endothelial cells (HEC) is one such …

Natural killer (NK) cell interactions with macrophages have been shown to be important
during bacterial sepsis in activating macrophages to improve bacterial clearance. The …

First described 40 years ago, natural killer (NK) cells represent the founding members of the
innate lymphoid cell (ILC) family. They were initially defined by their ability to kill cancer cells …

An important role for natural killer (NK) cells in the regulation of T-cell responses is
emerging, although the receptor pairs regulating the NK–T-cell interaction have still not …

During infection, Toll-like receptor agonists induce natural killer (NK)–cell activation by
stimulating dendritic cells (DCs) to produce cytokines and transpresent IL-15 to NK cells. Yet …

Natural killer (NK) cells recognize and kill cancer cells and infected cells by engaging cell
surface ligands that are induced preferentially or exclusively on these cells. These ligands …

Initially characterized as a protein extensively expressed on human thymocytes, CD38 is
now known to be expressed on multiple cell types including T and B cells. However, the …

CD69 is a differentiation antigen expressed shortly after activation on T lymphocytes and
other cells of haematopoietic origin, including natural killer (NK) cells. The function of CD69 …

Natural killer (NK) cells and dendritic cells (DCs) are two distinct cell types of innate
immunity. It is known that the in vitro interaction of human NK cells with autologous DCs …

Summary Peripheral blood CD4+ CD45RO+ T cells activated in vitro are able to induce
expression of tumour necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α) in monocytes via a contact‐dependent …
