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 ...

Natural killer and natural killer-T cells in psoriasis
Archives of Dermatological Research, 2002Psoriasis is characterized by a dermal and epidermal infiltrate comprised predominantly of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells, respectively. These cells behave in an antigen-dependent manner, which suggests that psoriasis may be a T-cell-mediated autoimmune disease.

Natural killer cells and natural killer T cells
Arthritis & Rheumatism, 2000NK cells are important in protecting against viral infections, and they may regulate the immune response. They are activated by hematopoietic blasts and pose a barrier to bone marrow transplantation. They are also abundant in the pregnant uterine decidua, although their role there is unknown.

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 ...

Natural killer cells and malaria
Immunological Reviews, 2006Summary: Malaria, caused by the infection with parasites of the germs Plasmodium, is one of the three most important infectious diseases worldwide, along with tuberculosis and infection with human immunodeficiency virus. Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes classically involved in the early defense against viral infections and intracytoplasmic ...

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 ...

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.

Functions of natural killer cells
Nature Immunology, 2008Natural killer (NK) cells are effector lymphocytes of the innate immune system that control several types of tumors and microbial infections by limiting their spread and subsequent tissue damage. Recent research highlights the fact that NK cells are also regulatory cells engaged in reciprocal interactions with dendritic cells, macrophages, T cells and ...
