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.

Targeting natural killer cells and natural killer T cells in cancer [PDF]

Nature Reviews Immunology, 2012
Natural killer (NK) cells and natural killer T (NKT) cells are subsets of lymphocytes that share some phenotypical and functional similarities. Both cell types can rapidly respond to the presence of tumour cells and participate in antitumour immune responses. This has prompted interest in the development of innovative cancer therapies that are based on

Advances in augmenting infiltration of active natural killer cells into pediatric and adult solid tumors

Molecular Therapy: Oncology
Although adoptive natural killer cell therapies have been safe and somewhat effective in hematological malignancies, their performance in solid tumors is hindered by the solid tumor microenvironment, which impairs natural killer cell trafficking and ...

Reconstitution of natural killer cell receptors influences natural killer activity and relapse rate after haploidentical transplantation of T- and B-cell depleted grafts in children

Haematologica, 2010
Background Natural killer cells have been demonstrated to exert remarkable graft-versus-leukemia effects after haploidentical transplantation. Acquisition of both, inhibiting and activating, receptors on developing natural killer cells is an important ...

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.

Natural killer cells and natural killer T cells in Lyme arthritis [PDF]

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2013
Abstract Introduction Natural killer (NK) and natural killer T (NKT) cells provide a first line of defense against infection. However, these cells have not yet been examined in patients with Lyme arthritis, a late disease manifestation. Lyme arthritis usually resolves with antibiotic treatment.

The Rise of Allogeneic Natural Killer Cells As a Platform for Cancer Immunotherapy: Recent Innovations and Future Developments

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Natural killer (NK) cells are critical immune effector cells in the fight against cancer. As NK cells in cancer patients are highly dysfunctional and reduced in number, adoptive transfer of large numbers of cytolytic NK cells and their potential to ...

Relative expression of receptors in uterine natural killer cells compared to peripheral blood natural killer cells

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
One would expect maternal immune cells to attack the invading trophoblast as the placenta is semi-allogenic. However, they appear to cooperate with the trophoblast in disrupting the arterial wall which has been determined in several studies.

Invariant NKT cells contribute to chronic lymphocytic leukemia surveillance and prognosis [PDF]

, 2017
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is characterized by the expansion of malignant CD5(+) B lymphocytes in blood, bone marrow and lymphoid organs. CD1d-restricted invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells are innate-like T lymphocytes strongly implicated in

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.
