Cytomegaloviruses (CMVs) are highly prevalent, persistent human pathogens that not only
evade but also shape our immune responses. Natural killer (NK) cells play an important role …

Allograft rejection constitutes a major complication of solid organ transplantation requiring
prophylactic/therapeutic immunosuppression, which increases susceptibility of patients to …

Natural killer (NK) cells are an important component of the innate immune system due to
their strong ability to kill virally infected or transformed cells without prior exposure to the …

Aging is associated with changes in the immune system. Both (innate and adaptive) arms of
the immune system are involved. Natural killer (NK) cells are part of the innate immune …

Background & Aims Phenotypic and functional natural killer (NK)-cell alterations are well
described in chronic hepatitis B virus (cHBV) infection. However, it is largely unknown …

Viruses and natural killer (NK) cells have a long co-evolutionary history, evidenced by
patterns of specific NK gene frequencies in those susceptible or resistant to infections. The …

HIV is associated with NK cell dysfunction and expansion of adaptive-like NK cells that
persist despite antiretroviral therapy (ART). We investigated the timing of NK cell …

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common opportunistic infection encountered in renal transplant
recipients (RTRs) and may be reactivated without symptoms at any time post‐transplant. We …

Innate immune dysfunction persists in HIV+ individuals despite effective combination
antiretroviral therapy (cART). We recently demonstrated that an adaptive-like CD56dim NK …
