Human acute myeloid leukemia CD34+CD38− stem cells are susceptible to allorecognition and lysis by single KIR-expressing natural killer cells

Haematologica, 2009
The concept of tumor immunosurveillance has raised prospects for natural killer cell-based immunotherapy of human cancer. The cure of acute myeloid leukemia may depend on eradication of leukemic stem cells, the self-renewing component of leukemia ...

Synthesis of C-5" and C-6"-modified α-GalCer analogues as iNKT-cell agonists [PDF]

, 2015
Alpha-Galactosyl Ceramide (α-GalCer) is a prototypical synthetic ligand of invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells. Upon presentation by the MHC class I-like molecule CD1d, this glycolipid stimulates iNKT cells to secrete a vast amount of both pro ...

ER stress in antigen‐presenting cells promotes NKT cell activation through endogenous neutral lipids [PDF]

, 2020
CD1d-restricted invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells constitute a common glycolipid-reactive innate-like T-cell subset with a broad impact on innate and adaptive immunity.

Natural killer cell therapies

Nature
Natural 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

Characterization of avian natural killer cells and their intracellular CD3 protein complex [PDF]

, 1994
Natural killer (NK) cell activity appears to be conserved throughout vertebrate development but NK cells have only been well characterized in mammals. Candidate NK cells have been identified in the chicken as cytoplasmic CD3+ and surface T cell receptor (

The Immunomodulatory Effects of Human Amniotic Epithelial Cells on Peripheral Blood Natural Killer T (NKT) Cells in Women with Unexplained Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion (URSA)

مجله دانشکده پزشکی اصفهان, 2018
Background: Unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) is the most common immunological complication during pregnancy. The evidence of in-vitro assays has shown that immune cells are responsible for embryotoxicity.

Altered thymic differentiation and modulation of arthritis by invariant NKT cells expressing mutant ZAP70 [PDF]

, 2018
Various subsets of invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells with different cytokine productions develop in the mouse thymus, but the factors driving their differentiation remain unclear.
