Characterization of avian natural killer cells and their intracellular CD3 protein complex [PDF]
Natural killer (NK) cell activity appears to be conserved throughout vertebrate development but NK cells have only been well characterized in mammals. Candidate NK cells have been identified in the chicken as cytoplasmic CD3+ and surface T cell receptor (

Identification of a porcine liver eomes-high-T-bet-low NK cell subset that resembles human liver resident NK cells [PDF]
Natural killer (NK) cells are cells of the innate immunity and play an important role in the defense against viral infections and cancer, but also contribute to shaping adaptive immune responses. Long-lived tissue-resident NK cells have been described in

Effector Functions of Natural Killer Cell Subsets in the Control of Hematological Malignancies. [PDF]
Treatment of hematological malignant disorders has been improved over the last years, but high relapse rate mainly attributable to the presence of minimal residual disease still persists.

Natural killer (NK) cell function in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria: a deficiency of NK cells, but not an NK cell deficiency [PDF]
To the editor: Treatment of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor deficiency paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) has been revolutionized by the use of the anti-C5 antibody eculizumab, which blocks complement-mediated hemolysis and the associated pathology.[1][1],[2][2] In addition ...

NK cell-based tumor immunotherapy
Natural killer (NK) cells display a unique inherent ability to identify and eliminate virus-infected cells and tumor cells. They are particularly powerful for elimination of hematological cancers, and have attracted considerable interests for therapy of ...

Natural killer (NK) cells eliminate a large variety of tumor cells and abnormal cells. However, NK cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are often functionally depleted. A few subsets of NK cells even promote tumor growth.

Expression of CD226 is associated to but not required for NK cell education [PDF]
DNAX accessory molecule-1 (DNAM-1, also known as CD226) is an activating receptor expressed on subsets of natural killer (NK) and T cells, interacts with its ligands CD155 or CD112, and has co-varied expression with inhibitory receptors. Since inhibitory

DNAM-1 and the TIGIT/PVRIG/TACTILE Axis: Novel Immune Checkpoints for Natural Killer Cell-Based Cancer Immunotherapy [PDF]
Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes of the innate immune response characterized by their role in the destruction of tumor cells. Activation of NK cells depend on a fine balance between activating and inhibitory signals mediated by different ...

Memory NK cell features exploitable in anticancer immunotherapy [PDF]
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 ...
