Proteasome inhibition induces apoptosis in primary human natural killer cells and suppresses NKp46-mediated cytotoxicity

open access: yesHaematologica, 2009
Background Bortezomib is a selective and potent inhibitor of the proteasome and has prominent effects in vitro and in vivo against tumors. Very recently, cytotoxic effects of bortezomib on immune-competent cells such as T cells and dendritic cells were ...

Multifunctional human CD56low CD16low natural killer cells are the prominent subset in bone marrow of both healthy pediatric donors and leukemic patients

open access: yesHaematologica, 2015
We phenotypically and functionally characterized a distinct CD56low natural killer cell subset based on CD16 expression levels in bone marrow and peripheral blood of healthy children and pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

'Unlicensed' natural killer cells dominate the response to cytomegalovirus infection. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Natural killer (NK) cells expressing inhibitory receptors that bind to self major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I are 'licensed', or rendered functionally more responsive to stimulation, whereas 'unlicensed' NK cells lacking receptors for self ...

Tumor-Infiltrating Natural Killer Cells.

open access: yesCancer Discovery, 2020
Because of their potent antitumor activity and their proinflammatory role, natural killer (NK) cells are at the forefront of efforts to develop immuno-oncologic treatments.

A team effort: natural killer cells on the first leg of the tumor immunity relay race [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Recent work by Böttcher and colleagues defines a new role for Natural Killer cells in the anti-tumor immune response, arriving early into the tumor microenvironment before passing the baton to DC1 dendritic cells.

The Immune Checkpoint PD-1 in Natural Killer Cells: Expression, Function and Targeting in Tumour Immunotherapy

open access: yesCancers, 2020
Simple Summary Natural killer cells are innate cytotoxic lymphocytes that play a key role in the anti-tumor immune response. In the tumor microenvironment, however, the effector functions of these cells are often impaired by the induction of inhibitory ...

Natural Killer cells responsiveness to physical esercise: a brief review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Natural killer cells (NK) are a group of peripheral blood lymphocytes which display cytotoxic ac- tivity against a wide range of tumour cells. They are a consistent part of the inflammatory re- sponse that is activated when either internal or external ...

Natural killer cells in hepatitis B virus infection

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2015
Natural killer cells are a unique type of lymphocytes with cytotoxic capacity, and play important roles against tumors and infections. Recently, natural killer cells have been increasingly valued in their effects in hepatitis B virus infection.

Interferon therapy shifts natural killer subsets among Egyptian patients with chronic hepatitis C

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2010
Natural killer cells can be divided into five subpopulations based on the relative expression of CD16 and CD56 markers. The majority of natural killer cells are CD56dim, which are considered to be the main cytotoxic effectors.

Galactosylsphingamides : new α-GalCer analogues to probe the F’-pocket of CD1d [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Invariant Natural Killer T-cells (iNKT-cells) are an attractive target for immune response modulation, as upon CD1d-mediated stimulation with KRN7000, a synthetic alpha-galactosylceramide, they produce a vast amount of cytokines.
