Autoimmune diseases recognize a multifactorial pathogenesis, although the exact
mechanism responsible for their onset remains to be fully elucidated. Over the past few …

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 …

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 …

Natural killer (NK) cells are innate immune cells. Although NK cells are best characterized
for their ability to control tumors and infections, recent data have indicated that they also are …

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 …

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. They not only exert
cell-mediated cytotoxicity against tumor cells or infected cells, but also play regulatory role …

Natural killer (NK) cells of the innate immune system are equipped with a cytolytic machinery
and produce cytokines, which enable these cells to profoundly modify adaptive immune …

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 are a specialised population of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) that help
control local immune responses. Through natural cytotoxicity, production of cytokines and …
