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...

What do they do? NK cells are equipped with cytotoxic granules that contain the arsenal of cytotoxic molecules used in killing virally infected and cancerous cells. They recognize their targets, in part, by means of activating signals that are only just beginning to be identified, but also by detecting cells that are deficient in cell-surface class I molecules of the major histocompatibility co...
