Natural Killer Cells in Asthma [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2013 The worldwide prevalence, morbidity, and mortality of asthma have dramatically increased over the last few decades and there is a clear need to identify new, effective, therapeutic and prophylactic strategies. Despite high numbers of NK cells in the lung

Multifunctional human CD56low CD16low natural killer cells are the prominent subset in bone marrow of both healthy pediatric donors and leukemic patients [PDF]
Haematologica, 2015 We phenotypically and functionally characterized a distinct CD56low natural killer cell subset based on CD16 expression levels in bone marrow and peripheral blood of healthy children and pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Current landscape of clinical use of ex vivo expanded natural killer cells for cancer therapy [PDF]
Einstein (São Paulo)Natural Killer cells are immune leukocytes required for responses against tumor cells and virus-infected cells. In the last decade, natural killer cells have emerged as promising tools in cancer therapy, and clinical studies on patients treated with ...

Interferon therapy shifts natural killer subsets among egyptian patients with chronic hepatitis C [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Infectious DiseasesNatural killer cells can be divided into five subpopulations based on the relative expression of CD16 and CD56 markers. The majority of natural killer cells are CD56dim, which are considered to be the main cytotoxic effectors.

Natural killer cells in multiple sclerosis: foe or friends? [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular NeuroscienceMultiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated disorder involving the central nervous system (CNS), in which demyelination is caused. The initiation and progression of MS is thought to depend largely on CD4+ T lymphocytes, yet new data has emphasized the ...

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 ...

Control of human cytomegalovirus replication by liver resident natural killer cells [PDF]
, 2023 Natural killer cells are considered to be important for control of human cytomegalovirus– a major pathogen in immune suppressed transplant patients. Viral infection promotes the development of an adaptive phenotype in circulating natural killer cells ...

Algorithmic asymptotic analysis: extending the arsenal of cancer immunology modeling [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology Volume 534, 7 February 2022, 110975, 2021 The recent advances in cancer immunotherapy boosted the development of tumor-immune system models aiming to provide mechanistic understanding and indicate more efficient treatment regimes. However, the complexity of such models, their multi-scale dynamics and their overparameterized character renders them inaccessible for wide utilization. In this work,

Benralizumab affects NK cell maturation and proliferation in severe asthmatic patients [PDF]
, 2023 Introduction: The mechanism of action of benralizumab is determined by its afucosylated constant fragment that binds CD16a receptors on the membrane of natural killer cells.

Fasting enhances TRAIL-mediated liver natural killer cell activity via HSP70 upregulation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Acute starvation, which is frequently observed in clinical practice, sometimes augments the cytolytic activity of natural killer cells against neoplastic cells. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the enhancement of natural
