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 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 …

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

Natural killer (NK) cells are large granular lymphocytes that express a diverse array of
germline encoded inhibitory and activating receptors for MHC Class I and Class I-like …

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, 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 …

Natural killer (NK) cells were first described as immune leukocytes that could kill tumor cells
and soon after were reported to kill virus-infected cells. In the mid-1980s, 10 years after their …

Natural killer (NK) cells are effector lymphocytes of the innate immune system that control
several types of tumors and microbial infections by limiting their spread and subsequent …

Natural killer (NK) cells are well recognized for their ability to provide a first line of defence
against viral pathogens and they are increasingly being implicated in immune responses …
