Hospital Practice, 1982
Named for their apparent ability to function without prior sensitization, NK cells are the newest additions to the growing cast of immunopathologic effectors, which includes antibodies and immune complexes as well as cytolytic T cells and K cells. The understanding of NK activity has progressed to a level that permits investigators to consider its ...

Natural killer cells and malaria
Immunological Reviews, 2006Summary: Malaria, caused by the infection with parasites of the germs Plasmodium, is one of the three most important infectious diseases worldwide, along with tuberculosis and infection with human immunodeficiency virus. Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes classically involved in the early defense against viral infections and intracytoplasmic ...

CRC Critical Reviews in Clinical Laboratory Sciences, 1985
It is proposed that this article will encompass a review of primarily the human natural killer cell. The following parameters of the human natural killer (NK) cell will be reviewed: its ontogeny; surface membrane characteristics including monoclonal antibody reactivity, cell lineage, the natural killer sensitive targets, and the proposed mechanism of ...

Clinical Lymphoma, 2004
Lymphoid neoplasms that are derived from natural killer (NK) cells are uncommon but distinct clinicopathologic disease entities. Three types have been recognized and categorized in the latest World Health Organization classification: extranodal NK cell lymphoma, nasal-type; aggressive NK cell leukemia; and blastic NK cell lymphoma.

Functions of natural killer cells
Nature Immunology, 2008Natural killer (NK) cells are effector lymphocytes of the innate immune system that control several types of tumors and microbial infections by limiting their spread and subsequent tissue damage. Recent research highlights the fact that NK cells are also regulatory cells engaged in reciprocal interactions with dendritic cells, macrophages, T cells and ...

Natural Killer Cells and the Syndrome of Chronic Natural Killer Cell Lymphocytosis
Leukemia & Lymphoma, 2001Natural killer (NK) cells provide anti-infectious, anti-neoplastic, and immunomodulatory function effected by both cytokine production and direct cellular cytotoxicity that is not major histocompatibility complex-restricted. NK cells lack truly specific cell surface determinants as well as antigen-specific receptors.

Trafficking of Natural Killer Cells
Current Molecular Medicine, 2004Natural killer (NK) cells comprise a set of lymphocytes that is capable of mediating innate immune responses to viral infections, malignancies, and allogeneic bone marrow grafts. This review summarizes what is known about the mechanisms NK cells use to arrive at their sites of action.

Current Opinion in Immunology, 1995
In killing of cellular targets, natural killer cells employ receptors that activate them and receptors specific for MHC class I that inhibit their activation. Progress in understanding the inhibitory receptors has been rapid, and indications are that they fall into two distinct structural types that appear to utilize the same inhibitory signaling ...

The enigma of the natural killer cell
Nature, 1995Natural killer (NK) cells are controlled by receptors specific for polymorphic determinants of class I molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). The contrasting properties of NK and cytotoxic T cell (CTL) class I receptors provide complementarity in the cytolytic lymphocyte response to viruses, tumours and transplants.
