Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that contribute to the early immune responses to
viruses. NK cells are innate immune cells that do not express rearranged antigen receptors …

Natural killer (NK) cells are important effectors of innate immunity playing a key role in the
eradication and clearance of viral infections. Over the recent years, several studies have …

The activating natural killer (NK)-cell receptor KIR3DS1 has been linked to the outcome of
various human diseases, including delayed progression of disease caused by human …

Evidence is mounting that the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule HLA-F
(human leukocyte antigen F) regulates the immune system in pregnancy, infection, and …

NK cells recognize self-HLA via killer Ig-like receptors (KIR). Homeostatic HLA expression
signals for inhibition via KIR, and downregulation of HLA, a common consequence of viral …

Natural killer (NK) cells can recognize virus-infected and stressed cells using activating and
inhibitory receptors, many of which interact with HLA class I. Although early studies also …

Natural killer (NK) cells are immune cells that play a crucial role against viral infections and
tumors. To be tolerant against healthy tissue and simultaneously attack infected cells, the …

Killer cell immunoglobulin‐like receptors (KIR s) on natural killer (NK) cells are crucially
involved in the control of cancer development and virus infection by probing cells for proper …

Tissue-specific NK cells are abundant in the pregnant uterus and interact with invading
placental trophoblast cells that transform the maternal arteries to increase the fetoplacental …

The surveillance of target cells by natural killer (NK) cells utilizes an ensemble of inhibitory
and activating receptors, many of which interact with major histocompatibility complex …
