Perforin is a cytotoxic molecule which is found in high concentration at the fetomaternal interface. In this location, perforin is contained in a specialized subset of natural killer cells, called uterine NK cells. By the use of perforin-deficient mice, we studied the function of perforin in th...
What types of cells do Endostatins go after? What cells are responsible for secreting large amounts of antibodies into circulation? a. T cells b. Macrophages c. Plasma cells d. Natural killer cells What is cell apoptosis, and how does it protect other cells around the infected cell?

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infects helper T cells. What is the role of these cells in the immune system (be as complete as possible)? How does the loss of these cells lead to the profound immunodeficiency seen in people who develop AIDS (...
What is the role of a dendritic cell of the skin? Dendritic cells (DCs) are specialized antigen presenting cells abundant in peripheral tissues such as skin where theyfunction as immune sentinels. Skin DCs migrate to draining lymph node where they interact with naïve T cells to induce immune...
Recent years have seen so-called natural killer T (NKT) cells emerge as important regulators of the immune response. The existence of NKT-cell subsets, and other types of T cell that resemble NKT cells, is an ongoing source of confusion in the literature. This perspective article seeks to ...
down adenosine in nucleic acids found in food tissues. In the human body, it plays a crucial role in the production of immune cells. Mutations in this enzyme can lead to severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), where T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells are unable to function ...
Abnormal tumor microenvironment and immune escape in multiple myeloma (MM) are associated with regulatory T cells (Tregs), which play an important role in maintaining self-tolerance and regulating the overall immune response to infection or tumor cells. In patients with MM, there are abnormalities ...
Our immune systems contain three fundamentally different types of cell: B-cells, T-cells and the mysteriously named Natural Killer cells (NK cells), which are known to be involved in killing tumour cells and other infected cells. Experiments to investiga
