Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that provide critical host defense against
pathogens and cancer. Originally heralded for their early and rapid effector activity, NK cells …

Understanding how signals are integrated to control natural killer (NK) cell responsiveness
in the absence of antigen-specific receptors has been a challenge, but recent work has …

Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that lack antigen-specific rearranged
receptors, a hallmark of adaptive lymphocytes. In some people infected with human …

Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that contribute to the early immune responses to
viruses. NK cells are innate immune cells that do not express rearranged antigen receptors …

Natural killer (NK) cells are effector cells of the innate immune system and are important in
the control of viral infections. Their relevance is reflected by the multiple mechanisms …

Viral infection activates cytokine expression and triggers cell death, the modulation of which
is important for successful pathogenesis. Necroptosis is a form of programmed necrosis …

Natural killer group 2, member D (NKG2D) is an activating receptor present on the surface of
natural killer (NK) cells, some NKT cells, CD8+ cytotoxic T cells, γδ T cells, and under certain …

The coordinated activities of innate and adaptive immunity are critical for effective protection
against viruses. To counter this, some viruses have evolved sophisticated strategies to …

Natural killer (NK) cells expressing inhibitory receptors that bind to self major
histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I are'licensed', or rendered functionally more …

Dendritic cells (DCs) and natural killer (NK) cells have central roles in antiviral immunity by
shaping the quality of the adaptive immune response to viruses and by mediating direct …
