Short communication: NKG2C+ NK cells contribute to increases in CD16+CD56- cells in HIV type 1+ individuals with high plasma viral load. [PDF]

, 2013
Chronic HIV-1 infection results in the expansion of both NKG2C+ and CD16+CD56- human natural killer cells. NKG2C+ cells proliferate in response to human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and expansion of the dysfunctional CD56-CD16+ natural killer (NK) cells is ...

Highly activated and expanded natural killer cells for multiple myeloma immunotherapy

Haematologica, 2012
Background Patients with gene expression profiling-defined high-risk myeloma in relapse have poor outcomes with current therapies. We tested whether natural killer cells expanded by co-culture with K562 cells transfected with 41BBL and membrane-bound ...

The role of NK and NKT cells in the pathogenesis and improvement of multiple sclerosis following disease‐modifying therapies

Health Science Reports, 2022
Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that T cells become autoreactive by recognizing CNS antigens. Both innate and adaptive immune systems are involved in the pathogenesis of MS.

Topographical Distribution and Spatial Interactions of Innate and Semi-Innate Immune Cells in Pancreatic and Other Periampullary Adenocarcinoma

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
BackgroundThe clinical management of pancreatic and other periampullary neoplasms remains challenging. In contrast to other cancer types, immunotherapies are largely ineffective, and the reason for the deprived immune response and the immune inhibiting ...

Impact of NKG2D Signaling on Natural Killer and T‐Cell Function in Cerebral Ischemia

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background Typically defined as a thromboinflammatory disease, ischemic stroke features early and delayed inflammatory responses, which determine the extent of ischemia‐related brain damage.

Natural killer T cells: Know thyself [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007
There are two main reasons why natural killer T (NKT) cells fascinate immunologists. First, they exhibit a unique melange of properties found in innate immune cells as well as the properties of conventional T cells, part of adaptive immunity (1–4). Second, NKT cells exercise a determining influence on a variety of immune responses in mice, ranging from

Immune mediated autologous cytotoxicity against hematopoietic precursor cells in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome

Haematologica, 2009
Background An activated immune system has been observed in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome but its exact contribution to disease development and control is not fully clarified.

The role of natural killer cells in adaptive immune responses [PDF]

Human natural killer (NK) cells have been shown to respond to numerous pathogenic stimuli, producing IFN-y as well as cytolytic effector molecules such as perforin and granzymes.

Immunometabolic Activation of Invariant Natural Killer T Cells

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are lipid-reactive T cells with profound immunomodulatory potential. They are unique in their restriction to lipid antigens presented in CD1d molecules, which underlies their role in lipid-driven disorders such as ...

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
