Natural killer (NK) cells are large, granular lymphocytes devoted to the defense against
microbial agents and cancer cells, traditionally recognized as an important arm of the innate …

Natural killer (NK) cells, the large granular lymphocytes differentiated from the common
lymphoid progenitors, were discovered in early 1970's. They are members of innate …

The pathogenesis of autoimmunity remains to be fully elucidated, although the contribution
of genetic and environmental factors is generally recognized. Despite autoimmune …

Natural killer (NK) cells are part of the innate-immune system and respond rapidly to a
variety of insults via cytokine secretion and cytolytic activity. Their main function is first line of …

Natural killer (NK) cells have been implicated in tumour surveillance and in the early control
of several microbial infections. In autoimmune disease their involvement in these processes …

Objective Natural killer (NK) cells are part of the innate immune system which not only
provides a primary response to pathogenic conditions but can also play an important …

Autoimmune diseases generally result from the loss of self-tolerance (ie, failure of the
immune system to distinguish self from non-self), and are characterized by autoantibody …

Natural Killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes of the innate immune system, originally described
by their capacity to control tumour cells and eliminate virus-infected cells. However …

Natural killer (NK) cells belong to innate immune system that are large granular lymphocytes
differentiating from the common lymphoid progenitors. These cells were first identified by …

Natural killer (NK) cells were once regarded as relatively simple cells of the innate immune
system. However, they are now revealing themselves as multifunctional regulatory cells that …
