Short communication: NKG2C+ NK cells contribute to increases in CD16+CD56- cells in HIV type 1+ individuals with high plasma viral load. [PDF]
, 2012 Chronic HIV-1 infection results in the expansion of both NKG2C+ and CD16+CD56- human natural killer cells. NKG2C+ cells proliferate in response to human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and expansion of the dysfunctional CD56-CD16+ natural killer (NK) cells is ...

Evasion of NK cell immune surveillance via the vimentin-mediated cytoskeleton remodeling
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Cancer immunotherapy uses the immune system to achieve therapeutic effects; however, its effect is still limited. Therefore, in addition to immune checkpoint-based treatment, the development of other strategies that can inhibit cancer cells from ...

Natural Killer Cells: From Innate to Adaptive Features.
Annual Review of Immunology, 2021 Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that provide critical host defense against pathogens and cancer. Originally heralded for their early and rapid effector activity, NK cells have been recognized over the last decade for their ability to ...

In vivo generation of decidual natural killer cells from resident hematopoietic progenitors
Haematologica, 2014 Decidual natural killer cells accumulate at the fetal-maternal interface and play a key role in a successful pregnancy. However, their origin is still unknown.

Organ-specific features of natural killer cells. [PDF]
, 2011 Natural killer (NK) cells can be swiftly mobilized by danger signals and are among the earliest arrivals at target organs of disease. However, the role of NK cells in mounting inflammatory responses is often complex and sometimes paradoxical.

Signal processing in slit-scan flow cytometry of cell conjugates [PDF]
, 1993 The design and implementation of a real-time signal processing system for slit-scan flow cytometry is described. The system is used to measure the separate scatter and fluorescence peak heights of 2 adherent cells.

The activating receptors 2B4 and NTB-A, but not CRACC are subject to ligand-induced down-regulation on human natural killer cells [PDF]
, 2010 Activation of natural killer cells can be mediated by different receptors. Stimulation of the receptors 2B4, NTB-A and CRACC, members of the SLAM-related receptor family, induces cytotoxicity and cytokine production.

Skin TLR7 triggering promotes accumulation of respiratory dendritic cells and natural killer cells. [PDF]
, 2012 The TLR7 agonist imiquimod has been used successfully as adjuvant for skin treatment of virus-associated warts and basal cell carcinoma. The effects of skin TLR7 triggering on respiratory leukocyte populations are unknown.

Effects of anti-NKG2A antibody administration on leukemia and normal hematopoietic cells
Haematologica, 2016 Natural killer cells are key cells of the innate immune system. Natural killer cell receptor repertoires are diversified by a stochastic expression of killer-cell-immunoglobulin-like receptors and lectin-like receptors such as NKG2 receptors.
