Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are innate counterparts of T cells that contribute to immune
responses by secreting effector cytokines and regulating the functions of other innate and …

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 …

Evidence suggests that innate and adaptive cellular responses mediate resistance to the
influenza virus and confer protection after vaccination. However, few studies have resolved …

Human NK cells can be classified into phenotypically and functionally distinct subsets based
on levels of CD56 receptor. CD56 dim cells are generally considered more cytotoxic …

Adaptations in maternal systemic immunity are presumed to be responsible for observed
alterations in disease susceptibility and severity as pregnancy progresses. Epidemiological …

Influenza virus infection remains a public health problem worldwide. The mechanisms
underlying viral control during an uncomplicated influenza virus infection are not fully …

NK cells offer a first line of defense against viruses and are considered beneficial to the host
during infection. Nevertheless, little is understood regarding the phenotype and function of …

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 …

Influenza A virus (IAV) is a major global public health burden due to its routine evasion of
immunization strategies. Natural killer (NK) cells are innate cytotoxic cells with important …

Pregnant women experience increased morbidity and mortality after influenza infection, for
reasons that are not understood. Although some data suggest that natural killer (NK)-and T …
