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.

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

Uterine Natural Killer Cells [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Natural killer (NK) cells are members of a rapidly expanding family of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs). While most previously studied NK cells were derived from the mouse spleen and circulate in the blood, recently others and we found tissue-resident NK (trNK) cells in many tissues that resemble group 1 ILCs (ILC1s).

Natural killer cell neoplasms [PDF]
Cancer, 2008 AbstractNatural killer (NK) cell tumors are an uncommon and heterogeneous group of disorders. The World Health Organization (WHO) classified mature NK cell neoplasms into 2 types: 1) extranodal NK cell lymphoma, nasal type and 2) aggressive NK cell leukemia. The mature NK cell tumors are prevalent in Asia and Central and South America.

Current Biology, 1999 Perhaps, but probably not a long or healthy life. There is only one documented human case of an absolute NK cell deficiency, which was associated with recurrent life-threatening bacterial and viral infections.

Natural Killer Cell Memory [PDF]
Immunity, 2015 Natural killer (NK) cells have historically been considered short-lived cytolytic cells that can rapidly respond against pathogens and tumors in an antigen-independent manner and then undergo cell death. Recently, however, NK cells have been shown to possess traits of adaptive immunity and can acquire immunological memory in a manner similar to that of

SnapShot: Natural Killer Cells
Cell, 2020 NK cells are broadly distributed innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) encompassing distinct populations based on CD11b and CD27 expression in mice or CD56 intensity in humans. Involved in anti-viral and anti-tumor immunity thanks to their cytokines and chemokines secretion as well as their cytotoxic capabilities, NK cells have emerged as a promising ...

Natural killer cell deficiency [PDF]
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2013 Natural killer (NK) cells are part of the innate immune defense against infection and cancer and are especially useful in combating certain viral pathogens. The utility of NK cells in human health has been underscored by a growing number of persons who are deficient in NK cells and/or their functions. This can be in the context of a broader genetically

Deciphering Natural Killer Cell Homeostasis [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Natural killer (NK) cells have a central role within the innate immune system, eliminating virally infected, foreign and transformed cells through their natural cytotoxic capacity. Release of their cytotoxic granules is tightly controlled through the balance of a large repertoire of inhibitory and activating receptors, and it is the unique combination ...

NatureNatural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes of the innate immune system. A key feature of NK cells is their ability to recognize a wide range of cells in distress, particularly tumour cells and cells infected with viruses. They combine both direct effector functions against their cellular targets and participate in the generation, shaping and maintenance
