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 …

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

Natural killer (NK) cells play a critical role in the control of HIV-1 infection, and NK cells that
respond to HIV-1 peptides have been recently described. However, the mechanisms by …

NK cells are a subset of granular lymphocytes that are critical in the innate immune
response to infection. These cells are capable of killing infected cells and secreting integral …

Natural killer (NK) cells are a crucial component of the host innate immune system. We
investigated the noncytolytic anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) activity of NK cells in …

The role of natural killer (NK) cell function in HIV disease especially in the setting of long-
term antiretroviral therapy (ART) and viral suppression is not fully understood. In the current …

Objectives Natural killer (NK) cell function is likely to be important in controlling HIV infection
and opportunistic pathogens. We therefore evaluated NK function and phenotype over the …

Innate immunity may play a role in preventing HIV infection and progression to AIDS. Most
studies of natural killer (NK) cell function have been conducted in populations with different …

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

Natural killer (NK) cells exhibit both cytolytic and non-cytolytic effector functions against HIV-
infected targets. Their precise rule in immunopathogenesis of HIV-1 infection is, yet to be …
