Viral antigen mediated NKp46 activation of NK cells results in tumor rejection via NK-DC crosstalk
Natural killer (NK) cells play a critical role in antitumor immunity, their activation being regulated through NK cell receptors. Although the endogenous ligands for these receptors are largely unknown, viral ligands have been identified. We investigated

Genetic modification and effector functions of natural killer cells in acute myeloid leukemia [PDF]
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by a poor long-term outcome in the majority of patients following conventional treatment with chemotherapy.

Development of antigen-specific memory upon pathogen exposure is a hallmark of the adaptive immune system. While natural killer (NK) cells are considered part of the innate immune system, humans exposed to the chronic viral pathogen cytomegalovirus (CMV)

Natural Killer Cells in Multiple Sclerosis: Entering the Stage
Studies investigating the immunopathology of multiple sclerosis (MS) have largely focused on adaptive T and B lymphocytes. However, in recent years there has been an increased interest in the contribution of innate immune cells, amongst which the natural

IL-2–dependent adaptive control of NK cell homeostasis [PDF]
Activation and expansion of T and B lymphocytes and myeloid cells are controlled by Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (T reg cells), and their deficiency results in a fatal lympho- and myeloproliferative syndrome. A role for T reg cells in the homeostasis of innate lymphocyte lineages remained unknown.

Previous research on adaptive NK cells in rhesus macaques suffered from the lack of specific antibodies to differentiate between inhibitory CD94/NKG2A and stimulatory CD94/NKG2C heterodimeric receptors. Recently we reported an expansion of NKG2C receptor-

Most studies on genetic engineering technologies for cancer immunotherapy based on allogeneic donors have focused on adaptive immunity. However, the main limitation of such approaches is that they can lead to severe graft-versus-host disease (GvHD).

The transcription factor Bcl11b promotes both canonical and adaptive NK cell differentiation
Epigenetic and functional analyses of human NK cells identify a role for Bcl11b in canonical and adaptive NK cell differentiation. Human NK cell circuitry Natural killer (NK) cells are innate immune effector cells that undergo differentiation and ...

HIV-1 adaptation to NK-cell-mediated immune pressure
Natural killer (NK) cells have an important role in the control of viral infections, recognizing virally infected cells through a variety of activating and inhibitory receptors. Epidemiological and functional studies have recently suggested that NK cells can also contribute to the control of HIV-1 infection through recognition of virally infected cells
