Natural killer (NK) cells comprise a unique population of innate lymphoid cells endowed with
intrinsic abilities to identify and eliminate virally infected cells and tumour cells. Possessing …

Great strides have been made in recent years towards understanding the roles of natural
killer (NK) cells in immunity to tumours and viruses. NK cells are cytotoxic innate lymphoid …

Immune checkpoint blockade, which blocks inhibitory signals of T cell activation, has shown
tremendous success in treating cancer, although success still remains limited to a fraction of …

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, a subgroup of innate lymphoid cells, act as the first line of defense
against cancer. Although some evidence shows that NK cells can develop in secondary …

Because of their potent antitumor activity and their proinflammatory role, natural killer (NK)
cells are at the forefront of efforts to develop immuno-oncologic treatments. NK cells …

Natural killer (NK) cells have crucial roles in the innate immunosurveillance of cancer and
viral infections. They are 'first responders' that can spontaneously recognize abnormal cells …

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 …

The innate lymphoid cell (ILC) family is composed of natural killer (NK) cells, ILC1, ILC2 and
