Natural killer (NK) cells are part of a phylogenetically old defense system, which is characterized by its strong cytolytic function against physiologically stressed cells such as tumor cells and virus-infected cells. Their use in the treatment of hematological malignancies may be more advantageous in...
Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes of the innate immune system. A key feature of NK cells is their ability to recognize a wide range of cells in distress, particularly tumour cells and cells infected with viruses. They combine both direct effector functions against their cellular targets ...

This brochure briefly describes the role that Natural Killer (NK) cells, and related receptors (NCR, NKG2, NKG2D, Nectin, Nectin like Binding Receptors, KIR) play in the immune system as well tools for NK research, including: Fluorochrome and unconjugated antibodies for a variety of ...
Natural killer (NK) cells are important cytotoxic lymphocytes of the innate immune system and are the first line of defense against infection and malignancy. They have innate ability to rapidly find and destroy virally infected and/or cancerous cells, while protecting healthy cells....
Natural killer, or NK cells, are part of our innate immune system. A healthy body produces them to respond early during infection. They are activated and they kill cells infected with a given virus. It turns out NK cells are even more important to the body than previously thought. Researche...

Natural killer cells are aggressive cells of the immune system that play an important role in fighting cancer as well as viral-infected cells. WhileT cellsare also important in cancer, natural killer cells are the "first responders" that are on the scene before the T cells are summoned. Not...
Natural killer (NK) cells play an important role in innate immune responses to viral infections. Here, we review recent insights into the role of NK cells in viral infections, with particular emphasis on human studies. We first discuss NK cells in the context of acute viral infections, with ...
