Cytokine-induced killer cells: A novel treatment for allergic airway inflammation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The effectiveness of cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells for treatment of cancers has long been appreciated. Here, we report for the first time that CIK cells can be applied to treat allergic airway inflammation.

Cytokine-induced killer cells are type II natural killer T cells
GMS German Medical Science, 2007 Background: Until now, cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells were assumed to be part of the type I natural killer T (NKT) cell population, but it was not yet investigated if this is correct.

Revving up natural killer cells and cytokine-induced killer cells against hematological malignancies [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2015 Natural killer (NK) cells belong to innate immunity and exhibit cytolytic activity against infectious pathogens and tumor cells. NK-cell function is finely tuned by receptors that transduce inhibitory or activating signals, such as killer immunoglobulin ...
