Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that contribute to the early immune responses to
viruses. NK cells are innate immune cells that do not express rearranged antigen receptors …

Publisher Summary Studies of cytotoxicity by human lymphocytes revealed not only that
both allogeneic and syngeneic tumor cells were lysed in a non-MHC-restricted fashion, but …

Inflammasomes regulate the activity of caspase-1 and the maturation of interleukin 1β (IL-
1β) and IL-18. AIM2 has been shown to bind DNA and engage the caspase-1-activating …

Antiviral T cells are thought to regulate whether hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections result in viral control, asymptomatic persistence or …

▪ Abstract Natural killer (NK) cells are populations of lymphocytes that can be activated to
mediate significant levels of cytotoxic activity and produce high levels of certain cytokines …

This review describes the contribution of noncytolytic mechanisms to the control of viral
infections with a particular emphasis on the role of cytokines in these processes. It has long …

This review describes the diverse array of pathways and molecular targets that are used by
viruses to elude immune detection and destruction. These include targeting of pathways for …

The presence of natural killer (NK) cells contributes to early defense against murine
cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection. Although NK cells can mediate in vivo protection against …

Antiviral roles of natural killer (NK) cell subsets were examined in C57BL/6 mice infected
with murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) and other viruses, including lymphocytic …

Interstitial pneumonia associated with viral replication in lung tissue was observed after
cytomegalovirus infection of total-body gamma-irradiated mice, whereas in …
