Synthesis of C-5" and C-6"-modified α-GalCer analogues as iNKT-cell agonists [PDF]

, 2015
Alpha-Galactosyl Ceramide (α-GalCer) is a prototypical synthetic ligand of invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells. Upon presentation by the MHC class I-like molecule CD1d, this glycolipid stimulates iNKT cells to secrete a vast amount of both pro ...

Ex vivo-expanded highly purified natural killer cells in combination with temozolomide induce antitumor effects in human glioblastoma cells in vitro.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Glioblastoma is the leading malignant glioma with a poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the antitumor effects of natural killer cells in combination with temozolomide as the standard chemotherapeutic agent for glioblastoma.

Natural Killer Cell Transfer Assay

Bio-Protocol, 2013
Natural Killer (NK) cells are cytotoxic lymphocytes that constitute a major component of the innate immune system. Immunosurveillance of the host by NK cells for malignant and virally-infected cells results in direct cytotoxicity and the production of ...

Tumor-associated and immunochemotherapy-dependent long-term alterations of the peripheral blood NK cell compartment in DLBCL patients [PDF]

, 2015
Natural Killer (NK) cells are a key component of tumor immunosurveillance and thus play an important role in rituximab-dependent killing of lymphoma cells via an antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) mechanism.

Whole transcriptome analysis reveals dysregulated oncogenic lncRNAs in natural killer/T-cell lymphoma and establishes MIR155HG as a target of PRDM1

Tumor Biology, 2017
Natural killer/T-cell lymphoma is a rare but aggressive neoplasm with poor prognosis. Despite previous reports that showed potential tumor suppressors, such as PRDM1 or oncogenes associated with the etiology of this malignancy, the role of long non ...

Pralatrexate as a bridge to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in a patient with advanced-stage extranodal nasal-type natural killer/T cell lymphoma refractory to first-line chemotherapy: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2020
Background Extranodal natural killer/T cell lymphoma, nasal type, is one of the more common subtypes of mature T cell lymphoma, especially in the Far East Asian population.

Effector Functions of Natural Killer Cell Subsets in the Control of Hematological Malignancies. [PDF]

, 2015
Treatment of hematological malignant disorders has been improved over the last years, but high relapse rate mainly attributable to the presence of minimal residual disease still persists.

CAR natural killer cell therapy: Natural killer cell activation and expansion

Acta Biomedica Scientifica
Currently, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is an effective treatment method of hematological malignancies. However, T-lymphocyte-based immunotherapy has certain limitations for the scope of application of this approach.

Detection of monoclonal T populations in patients with KIR-restricted chronic lymphoproliferative disorder of NK cells

Haematologica, 2014
The etiology of chronic large granular lymphocyte proliferations is largely unknown. Although these disorders are characterized by the expansion of different cell types (T and natural killer) with specific genetic features and abnormalities, several ...
