Modeling Natural Killer Cell Targeted Immunotherapies
Animal models have extensively contributed to our understanding of human immunobiology and to uncover the underlying pathological mechanisms occurring in the development of diseases. However, mouse models do not reproduce the genetic and molecular complexity inherent in human disease conditions. Human immune system (HIS) mouse models that are susceptible to human pathogens and can recapitulate ...
متن کاملNatural Killer Cell-Based Cancer Immunotherapies: From Immune Evasion to Promising Targeted Cellular Therapies
Immunotherapies based on natural killer (NK) cells are among the most promising therapies under development for the treatment of so far incurable forms of leukemia and other types of cancer. The importance of NK cells for the control of viral infections and cancer is supported among others by the findings that viruses and tumors use a multitude of mechanisms to subvert and evade the NK cell sys...
متن کاملMolecular Imaging: A Useful Tool for the Development of Natural Killer Cell-Based Immunotherapies
Molecular imaging is a relatively new discipline that allows visualization, characterization, and measurement of the biological processes in living subjects, including humans, at a cellular and molecular level. The interaction between cancer cells and natural killer (NK) cells is complex and incompletely understood. Despite our limited knowledge, progress in the search for immune cell therapies...
متن کاملNatural killer cell deficiency.
Natural killer (NK) cells are part of the innate immune defense against infection and cancer and are especially useful in combating certain viral pathogens. The utility of NK cells in human health has been underscored by a growing number of persons who are deficient in NK cells and/or their functions. This can be in the context of a broader genetically defined congenital immunodeficiency, of wh...
متن کاملNatural killer cell neoplasms.
Lymphoid neoplasms that are derived from natural killer (NK) cells are uncommon but distinct clinicopathologic disease entities. Three types have been recognized and categorized in the latest World Health Organization classification: extranodal NK cell lymphoma, nasal-type; aggressive NK cell leukemia; and blastic NK cell lymphoma. All NK tumor cells express the NK cell marker CD56, but they la...
