Innate immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) mainly include macrophages,
neutrophils, natural killer cells, dendritic cells and bone marrow derived suppressor cells …

The lungs, a special site that is frequently challenged by tumors, pathogens and other
environmental insults, are populated by large numbers of innate immune cells. Among …

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 …

Obesity is accompanied by a systemic chronic low-grade inflammation as well as
dysfunctions of several innate and adaptive immune cells. Recent findings emphasize an …

Background aims Activated NK cells (aNK) generated by expansion of a human interleukin-
2–dependent NK cell line (NK-92) were shown to mediate strong anti-leukemia activity. This …

Natural killer (NK) cells are potent immune effectors that can be activated via antibody-
mediated Fc receptor engagement. Using multiparameter flow cytometry, we found that NK …

Despite partial elucidation of the pathophysiology of antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR)
after kidney transplantation, it remains largely unclear which of the involved immune cell …

Natural killer (NK) cells belong to type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1) and are essential in
killing infected or transformed cells. NK cells mediate their effector functions using non …

This article reviews immunological memory cells, currently represented by T and B
lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells, which determine a rapid and effective response …

Natural Killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes playing pivotal roles in host defense and
immune-surveillance. The homeostatic modulation of germ-line encoded/non-rearranged …
