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 ...

Five layers of receptor signalling in γδ T cell differentiation and activation
Frontiers in Immunology, 2015 The contributions of gamma-delta T cells to immunity to infection or tumours critically depend on their activation and differentiation into effectors capable of secreting cytokines and killing infected or transformed cells.
