Natural killer receptors on CD8 T cells and natural killer cells from different HLA-C phenotypes in melanoma patients

, 2006
Purpose: Because immune mechanisms involved in cutaneous melanoma have not been fully elucidated, efforts have been made to achieve prognosis markers and potential targets for immune therapies, but they have not been entirely fruitful thus far. Therefore,

Non-classic properties of human cytolytic lymphocytes. basic and clinical aspects [PDF]

, 2008
The immune system comprises a complex network of specialized cells and organs that function together to recognize and remove potentially harmful "non-self", i.e. pathogens, malignant cells and –by extension– also transplanted allogeneic cells.

Dual function of the NK cell receptor 2B4 (CD244) in the regulation of HCV-specific CD8+ T cells

, 2011
The outcome of viral infections is dependent on the function of CD8+ T cells which are tightly regulated by costimulatory molecules. The NK cell receptor 2B4 (CD244) is a transmembrane protein belonging to the Ig superfamily which can also be expressed ...
