Tumor-associated and immunochemotherapy-dependent long-term alterations of the peripheral blood NK cell compartment in DLBCL patients [PDF]
, 2015 Natural Killer (NK) cells are a key component of tumor immunosurveillance and thus play an important role in rituximab-dependent killing of lymphoma cells via an antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) mechanism.

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 ...

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 ...

Organ-specific features of natural killer cells. [PDF]
, 2011 Natural killer (NK) cells can be swiftly mobilized by danger signals and are among the earliest arrivals at target organs of disease. However, the role of NK cells in mounting inflammatory responses is often complex and sometimes paradoxical.

Memory NK cell features exploitable in anticancer immunotherapy [PDF]
, 2019 Besides their innate ability to rapidly produce effector cytokines and kill virus-infected or transformed cells, natural killer (NK) cells display a strong capability to adapt to environmental modifications and to differentiate into long-lived ...

Resident Peritoneal NK Cells [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2011 Abstract In this study, we describe a new population of NK cells that reside in the normal, uninflamed peritoneal cavity. Phenotypically, they share some similarities with the small population of CD49b−, CD27+ immature splenic NK cells, as well as liver NK cells, but they differ in their expression of CD62L, TRAIL, and EOMES ...
