Human natural killer cells, activated lymphocyte killer cells, and monocytes possess similar cytotoxic mechanisms.
The relationship between the killing mechanisms of human natural killer (NK) cells, mitogen- and mixed-lymphocyte-culture-induced activated lymphocyte killer (ALK) cells, and monocytes was investigated with a monoclonal antibody. The IgG2 antibody 9.1C3 was prepared from mice immunized with purified human large granular lymphocytes and selected from clones that inhibited NK cell killing. The 9....
متن کاملCD38 triggers cytotoxic responses in activated human natural killer cells.
Receptors used by natural killer (NK) cells to mediate natural cytotoxicity are poorly defined, although it is now clear that a number of adhesion molecules can serve this function. CD38 transduces signals on T- and B-cell lines, and we asked whether it could trigger lytic and secretory responses in human NK cells. By using an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody in reverse antibody-dependent cellular...
متن کاملHuman natural killer cells.
Natural killer (NK) cells were discovered more than 30 years ago. NK cells are large granular lymphocytes that belong to the innate immune system because unlike T or B lymphocytes of the adaptive or antigen-specific immune system, NK cells do not rearrange T-cell receptor or immunoglobulin genes from their germline configuration. During the past 2 decades there has been a substantial gain in ou...
متن کاملIncreased Natural Killer Cells Activity in Schizophrenic Patients
Background: Schizophrenia has been associated with altered immunity. Different studies regarding natural killer cell activity (NKA) in schizophrenic patients have shown inconsistent results. Objectives: To evaluate NK cell activity in schizophrenic patients in comparison with healthy control individuals. Methods: 30 medication-free schizophrenic patients and 41 healthy sex, age and smoking st...
متن کاملNatural killer cells trigger differentiation of monocytes into dendritic cells.
Circulating monocytes can differentiate into dendritic cells (moDCs), which are potent inducers of adaptive immune responses. Previous reports show that granulocyte macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin-4 induce monocyte differentiation into moDCs in vitro, but little is known about the physiological requirements that initiate moDC differentiation in vivo. Here we show t...
