16. Receptor localization and dynamics of murine natural killer cells at single cell level : using advanced fluorescence microscopy
Sammanfattning : Natural Killer (NK) cells are immune cells and important for the defense against virally infected and malignant cells. NK cells are regulated by germline encoded activating and inhibitory receptors. Activating receptors specifically recognize ligands which are either encoded by infectious agents, or induced upon infection or cellular stress. LÄS MER
17. Natural killer cell development and function in the context of allogenic stem cell transplantation and cell therapy
Sammanfattning : Natural killer (NK) cells play a crucial role in the control of viral infections and transformed, cancerous cells. These innate cells have high cytotoxic capacities and use a multitude of receptors to interact with neighbouring cells. LÄS MER
18. Mechanisms influencing natural killer cell recognition of tumour cells
Sammanfattning : Natural killer (NK) cells are part of our innate immune defence against virus-infected and transformed cells. Through a yet undefined mechanism, expression of inhibitory receptors for self-HLA class I molecules endow NK cells with increased functionality. The process leading to gain of function through inhibition is known as NK cell education. LÄS MER
19. Natural killer cell inhibitory and activating receptors : regulatory role in effector functions against normal and tumor cells
Sammanfattning : Natural killer (NK) cells can mediate effector functions as cytokine production and degranulation dependent cytotoxicity against cells that have become aberrant by mutagenesis or by infection. As part of the innate immunity, the NK cells are most important in the direct early defense against infections, and also in indirect shaping of the later adaptive response. LÄS MER
