Objective: Natural killer (NK) cells are important in innate immune responses to bacterial
and viral pathogens. HIV-1 infection is associated with opportunistic bacterial infections and …

Natural killer (NK) cells are potent effectors of natural immunity and their activity prevents
human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) viral entry and viral replication. We sought to …

Natural killer (NK) cells may be of significance in host defense against viral infections. In the
present study, NK cell function was examined in relation to different phases of human …

Natural killer (NK) cells are important effectors of innate immunity playing a key role in the
eradication and clearance of viral infections. Over the recent years, several studies have …

Natural killer (NK) cells are believed to play a role in human immunodeficiency virus type 1
(HIV-1) disease progression, and NK cell levels are reduced in individuals with chronic HIV …

Progression to AIDS during HIV-infection is associated with a decrease in the number and
function of natural killer (NK) cells [1–4]. The reduction in NK cells expressing CD56 and …

The impairment of NK cell functions in the course of HIV infection contributes to a decreased
resistance against HIV and other pathogens. We analyzed the proportion of mature and …

Natural killer (NK) cells play an important role in innate host defenses against a variety of
pathogens. A recent report described striking perturbations in the expression of NK cell …

This review describes current knowledge of changes in natural killer (NK) cell function in
acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)‐related disorders, vis‐à‐vis associated …

Background Recent reports suggest that Natural Killer (NK) cells may modulate
pathogenesis of primary HIV-1 infection. However, HIV dysregulates NK-cell responses. We …
