Heterogeneity in the natural killer (NK) cell population is determined by variegated
expression of polygenic and polymorphic receptors and distinct phenotypes and functions of …

Natural killer cells are lymphocytes of the innate immune system that can kill an array of
tumor and infected cells and secrete cytokines that participate in the shaping of the adaptive …

Upon maturation, natural killer (NK) cells acquire effector functions and regulatory receptors.
New insights suggest a considerable functional heterogeneity and dynamic regulation of …

The functional capacities of natural killer (NK) cells differ within and between individuals,
reflecting considerable genetic variation.'Licensing/arming','disarming', and 'tuning'are …

Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that participate in different facets of immunity. They
can act as innate sentinels through recognition and eradication of infected or transformed …

Natural killer (NK) cells are important innate effectors in immunity. NK cells also have a role
in the regulation of the adaptive immune response, and have been shown, in different …

In light of their role in the immune response against tumors and viruses, natural killer (NK)
cells represent a promising target for immunotherapy. Before this target is reached, the …

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action on a physical object there is an
equal and opposite reaction. The dynamic change in functional potential of natural killer …

Natural killer (NK) cells are known as frontline responders capable of rapidly mediating a
response upon encountering transformed or infected cells. Recent findings indicate that NK …

Natural killer (NK) cells are large granular lymphocytes capable of producing inflammatory
cytokines and spontaneously killing malignant, infected or'stressed'cells. These NK-cell …
