Natural killer cells

Current Opinion in Immunology, 1992
Although the antigen-specific receptors of T and B lymphocytes have been characterized, the receptors used by natural killer cells to recognize normal cells, tumors, and virus-infected cells have remained elusive. Recently, experimental systems have been developed to identify these structures, and candidate signal-transducing molecules have been ...

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

open access: yesNature 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

Natural Killer Cell Neoplasms

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.

Natural killer cell metabolism

Molecular Immunology, 2019
Natural killer (NK) cells are a critical component in the innate immune response against disease. NK cell function is tightly regulated by specific cytokine and activation/inhibitory receptor signalling, leading to diverse effector responses. Like all living cells, energy metabolism is a fundamental requirement for NK cell activation and survival ...

Natural killer cell memory

Nature Immunology, 2011
Natural killer (NK) cells are bone marrow–derived granular lymphocytes that have a key role in immune defense against viral and bacterial infections and malignancies. NK cells are traditionally defined as cells of the innate immune response because they lack RAG recombinase–dependent clonal antigen receptors.

Natural Killer Cells

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 ...

Bovine natural killer cells

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 2009
Natural killer (NK) cells have received much attention due to their cytotoxic abilities, often with a focus on their implications for cancer and transplantation. But despite their name, NK cells are also potent producers of cytokines like interferon-gamma.

Natural Killer Cells

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 ...
