Redefining Memory: Building the Case for Adaptive NK Cells [PDF]
ABSTRACTClassically, natural killer (NK) cells have been defined by nonspecific innate killing of virus-infected and tumor cells. However, burgeoning evidence suggests that the functional repertoire of NK cells is far more diverse than has been previously appreciated, thus raising the possibility that there may be unexpected functional specialization ...

Cell-intrinsic adrenergic signaling controls the adaptive NK cell response to viral infection
Natural killer (NK) cells are critical for protection against viruses. Diaz-Salazar et al. show that adrenergic neurons modulate the adaptive NK cell response in a cell-intrinsic manner.

Adaptive NK cells can persist in patients with GATA2 mutation depleted of stem and progenitor cells.
Key Points GATA-2 expression is restricted to hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, leading to NK-cell progenitor deficiency in GATA2 patients.

Selective Expansion of NKG2C+ Adaptive NK Cells Using K562 Cells Expressing HLA-E
Adaptive natural killer (NK) cells expressing self-specific inhibitory killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) can be expanded in vivo in response to human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection.

Adaptive Subsets Limit the Anti-Tumoral NK-Cell Activity in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a global health burden with increasing incidence, poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options. Natural killer (NK) cells exhibit potent anti-tumoral activity and therefore represent potential targets for ...

Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection drives the expansion and differentiation of natural killer (NK) cells with adaptive-like features. We investigated whether age and time on antiretroviral therapy (ART) influenced adaptive NK cell frequency and ...

NK Cell-Mediated Recall Responses: Memory-Like, Adaptive, or Antigen-Specific?
Mounting experimental evidence hints to an import role for natural killer (NK) cells in adaptive immune responses to pathogens. NK cells with adaptive features are heterogeneous and belong to different subsets according to their phenotype as well as the ...

Natural Killer Cell Responses during Human γ-Herpesvirus Infections
Herpesviruses are main sculptors of natural killer (NK) cell repertoires. While the β-herpesvirus human cytomegalovirus (CMV) drives the accumulation of adaptive NKG2C-positive NK cells, the human γ-herpesvirus Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) expands early ...
