Natural killer (NK) cells are the predominant innate lymphocyte subsets that mediate anti-
tumor and anti-viral responses, and therefore possess promising clinical utilization. NK cells …

Pregnancy causes physiological and immunological adaptations that allow the mother and
fetus to communicate with precision in order to promote a healthy pregnancy. At the same …

Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen that causes septicemia, meningitis and
chorioamnionitis and is associated with high mortality. Immunocompetent humans and …

Virtual memory cells (VM) are an antigen-specific, memory phenotype CD8 T-cell subset
found in lymphoreplete, unchallenged mice. Previous studies indicated that VM cells were …

Natural killer (NK) T cells are a lymphocyte subset with a distinct surface phenotype, an
invariant T cell receptor (TCR), and reactivity to CD1. Here we show that mouse NK T cells …

Natural killer (NK) cells are well recognized for their ability to provide a first line of defence
against viral pathogens and they are increasingly being implicated in immune responses …

Natural killer (NK) cells serve as a crucial first line of defense against tumors and a diverse
range of pathogens. Recognition of infection by NK cells is accomplished by the activation of …

Interferon (IFN)-γ plays an important role in the innate immune response against intracellular
bacterial pathogens. It is commonly thought that natural killer cells are the primary source of …

Natural killer (NK) cells are important in innate immunity, first described as guardians for the
detection and clearance of transformed or virus‐infected cells. Later, this cell type was …

Abstract Mouse CD1 (mCD1) glycoproteins are known to present peptides, while human
CD1 molecules present glycolipids. In mice, mCD1-autoreactive NK T cells play critical roles …
