Natural killer and natural killer T cells in liver fibrosis

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 2013
The liver lymphocyte population is enriched with natural killer (NK) cells, which play a key role in host defense against viral infection and tumor transformation. Recent evidence from animal models suggests that NK cells also play an important role in inhibiting liver fibrosis by selectively killing early or senescence activated hepatic stellate cells

Activation of human natural killer cells by Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]

, 2003
The purpose of work described in this thesis was to (i) determine the contribution of innate immune responses to the early pro-inflammatory cytokine response to Plasmodium falciparum, (ii) describe the kinetics and ...

Immunoregulation of Autoimmunity by Natural Killer T Cells [PDF]

Human Immunology, 2005
Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a conserved subpopulation of lymphocytes that recognize glycolipid antigens in a CD1d context. Upon activation through their semi-invariant T cell receptor, these cells rapidly release large amounts of immunomodulating Th1 and Th2 cytokines.

Natural killer or natural killer/T cell lineage large granular lymphocytosis associated with dasatinib therapy for Philadelphia chromosome positive leukemia

Haematologica, 2009
Dasatinib, a dual tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is known to modulate or suppress T-cell activation and proliferation. We report a series of 8 patients who developed chronic peripheral lymphocytosis, identified as natural killer cells or natural killer/T ...

Matched sizes of activating and inhibitory receptor/ligand pairs are required for optimal signal integration by human Natural Killer cells [PDF]

, 2010
It has been suggested that receptor-ligand complexes segregate or co-localise within immune synapses according to their size, and this is important for receptor signaling.

Natural Killer T Cells and Mucosal-Associated Invariant T Cells in Lung Infections

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
The immune system has been traditionally divided into two arms called innate and adaptive immunity. Typically, innate immunity refers to rapid defense mechanisms that set in motion within minutes to hours following an insult.

Natural Killer T Cell Based Immunotherapy [PDF]

Journal of Vaccines & Vaccination, 2012
Natural killer T (NKT) cells play an important immunoregulatory role and are thought to bridge the innate and adaptive immune responses. Following activation through cognate interactions with lipid antigen presented in the context of CD1d molecules, NKT cells rapidly produce a plethora of cytokines and can also mediate cytotoxicity. Due to their potent

Ex vivo-expanded highly purified natural killer cells in combination with temozolomide induce antitumor effects in human glioblastoma cells in vitro.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Glioblastoma is the leading malignant glioma with a poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the antitumor effects of natural killer cells in combination with temozolomide as the standard chemotherapeutic agent for glioblastoma.

Epstein–Barr Virus-Specific Immune Control by Innate Lymphocytes

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is a potent B cell transforming pathogen in humans. In most persistently EBV-infected individuals, potent cytotoxic lymphocyte responses prevent EBV-associated pathologies.
