Human Natural killer cell rece

Use of Mutant JurkatT Cell Lines to Define Human Natural Killer Cell Surface Receptor Signaling Pathways

Natural killer (NK) cells and T lymphocytes are derived from a common progenitor cell (1 ). This common origin is reflected in mature cells of both lineages: T and NK cells express cell surface receptors utilizing shared signaling chains

Assessment of Natural Killer Cell Responses to Human Cytomegalovirus-Infected Macrophages

Natural killer (NK) cells are major components of the innate immune system and are assumed to play an important role in the defense against cytomegalovirus infection. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the only virus known that shapes the NK

Overview of the Killer Cell Immunoglobulin-Like Receptor System

and the maintenance of pregnancy. Human NK cells largely use a family of germ-line encoded killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) to respond to the perturbations from self-HLA class I molecules present on infected, malignant, or HLA-disparate fetal
