26. Regulation of calcium flux by activating and inhibitory receptor crosstalk in NK cells
Abstract : The birth of a new born child kicks off the immune system to be on call and to respond promptly to threats from the environment. Natural Killer cells, classified as a member of the innate lymphoid cell family, express various activating, inhibitory, adhesion and cytokine receptors as well as MHC class I molecules on their surfaces, by which they interact with surrounding cells and perform various immunological function.

27. Phenotypic and functional studies of NK cells in neonates and during early childhood
Abstract : During infancy, before adaptive immunity has matured, innate immunity is thought to be relatively more important. Human natural killer (NK) cells are innate immune cells involved in the control of virus-infected cells and can influence adaptive immunity mainly through cytokine production. READ MORE

28. The therapeutic potential of ex vivo expanded natural killer (NK) cells for immunotherapy of cancer
Abstract : Cell and gene therapy of cancers has received much attention in the past decade. A number of applications of cancer treatment have been developed and used. One of the recent applications is immunotherapy of tumours with human natural killer (NK) cells. READ MORE

29. MHC-class I restricted peptide-based immunomodulation of CD8+ T and NK cells
Abstract : The main aims of the immune system are to protect the host from potential threats by distinguishing self from non-self and altered-self. T cells and NK cells play a key role in the identification and elimination of threats by scanning a repertoire of peptide epitopes presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules.

30. NK cells and missing self recognition : genetic control, mhc class i dependent education and potential use in cancer therapy
Abstract : NK cells belong to the innate immune system and are important in the defense against virus infections and malignant cells. They mediate their effector functions via release of cytotoxic granules and by cytokine production which can influence the status of other (immune) cells. READ MORE
