A four-stage model for murine natural killer cell development in vivo
Journal of Hematology & Oncology, 2022 Natural killer (NK) cells are the predominant innate lymphoid cells that mediate anti-viral and anti-tumor immunity. NK cells arise from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow (BM) and undergo lineage specification and maturation.

Tumor-priming converts NK cells to memory-like NK cells
OncoImmunology, 2017 Fascinating earlier evidence suggests an intrinsic capacity of human natural killer (NK) cells to acquire adaptive immune features in the context of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection or pro-inflammatory cytokine stimulation.

Phenotypic and Functional Plasticity of CXCR6+ Peripheral Blood NK Cells
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Human NK cells are comprised of phenotypic subsets, whose potentially unique functions remain largely unexplored. C-X-C-motif-chemokine-receptor-6 (CXCR6)+ NK cells have been identified as phenotypically immature tissue-resident NK cells in mice and ...

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2019 Background Recent studies have demonstrated that natural killer (NK) cells can modulate other immune components and are involved in the development or progression of several autoimmune diseases. However, the roles and mechanisms of NK cells in regulating

Flow cytometry analysis of cytotoxic cells in patients with chronic hepatitis C
Журнал инфектологии, 2014 In patients with chronic hepatitis C study the content of different populations of cytotoxic lymphocytes by flow cytometry. There was a significant decrease in functional capacity of NK -cells in determining the expression of CD 107 a picture of the ...

NK cells are not required for spontaneous autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 NK cells have been shown to either promote or protect from autoimmune diseases. Several studies have examined the role of receptors preferentially expressed by NK cells in the spontaneous disease of NOD mice or the direct role of NK cells in acute ...

Natural Killer Cell-Based Immunotherapy for Cancer: Advances and Prospects
Engineering, 2019 Natural killer (NK) cells are key innate immune cells that provide the first line of defense against viral infection and cancer. Although NK cells can discriminate between “self” and “non-self,” recognize abnormal cells, and eliminate transformed cells ...

High Metabolic Function and Resilience of NKG2A-Educated NK Cells
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Natural killer (NK) cells are an important component of the innate immune system for the control of intracellular pathogens and cancer cells. NK cells demonstrate heterogeneous expression of inhibitory surface receptors.

Osteoclast-expanded super-charged NK-cells preferentially select and expand CD8+ T cells
Scientific Reports, 2020 Osteoclasts (OCs) and much less dendritic cells (DCs) induce significant expansion and functional activation of NK cells, and furthermore, the OC-expanded NK cells preferentially increase the expansion and activation of CD8+ T cells by targeting CD4+ T ...
