Natural killer (NK) cells are important mediators of the immune response against microbial
pathogens and tumors. There is growing evidence from mouse and human studies that, NK …

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 …

Natural killer (NK) cells serve as a crucial first line of defense against tumors and a diverse
range of pathogens. Recognition of infection by NK cells is accomplished by the activation of …

Information regarding the role of natural killer (NK) cells in the response to viruses,
intracellular bacteria and parasites continues to emerge. NK cells can directly lyse infected …

Natural killer (NK) cells are effector lymphocytes of the innate immune system that control
several types of tumors and microbial infections by limiting their spread and subsequent …

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 constitute a minor subset of normal lymphocytes that initiate innate
immune responses toward tumor and virus-infected cells. They can mediate spontaneous …

Natural killer (NK) cells are critical for targeting and killing tumor, virus-infected and stressed
cells as a member of the innate immune system. Recently, NK cells have also emerged as …

Natural killer (NK) cells are important for early immune responses to viral infections and
cancer. Upon activation, NK cells secrete cytokines and chemokines, and kill sensitive target …
