Natural killer (NK) cell is a specialized immune effector cell type that plays a critical role in
immune activation against abnormal cells. Different from events required for T cell activation …

Natural killer (NK) cells are cytotoxic lymphocytes of the innate immune system that are
capable of killing virally infected and/or cancerous cells. Nearly 20 years ago, NK cell …

Natural Killer (NK) cells and CD8+ cytotoxic T cells are two types of immune cells that can
kill target cells through similar cytotoxic mechanisms. With the remarkable success of …

Natural killer (NK) cells can swiftly kill multiple adjacent cells if these show surface markers
associated with oncogenic transformation. This property, which is unique among immune …

Natural killer (NK) cells are unique immune effectors able to kill cancer cells by direct
recognition of surface ligands, without prior sensitization. Allogeneic NK transfer is a highly …

Natural killer (NK) cells are a critical component of the innate immune system. Chimeric
antigen receptors (CARs) re-direct NK cells toward tumor cells carrying corresponding …

Treatment of cancer with allogeneic natural killer (NK) cell therapies has seen rapid
development, especially use against hematologic malignancies. Clinical trials of NK cell …

Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are fusion proteins with an extracellular antigen
recognition domain and numerous intracellular signaling domains that have been …

Natural killer (NK) cells are effective in combating infections and tumors and as such are
tempting for adoptive transfer therapy. However, they are not homogeneous but can be …

Natural killer (NK) cells can induce an antigen-independent immune response against
malignant cells. A growing number of scientific reports and clinical studies have shown …
