Natural Killer Cells: Remembrances of Things Past

چکیده

Recent work has revealed that natural killer cells exhibit a form of memory, previously considered an exclusive property of adaptive immunity. While protective, natural killer cell memory is probably hazier and more fleeting than T cell memory.

Natural Killer Cells: Remembrances of Things Past

therefore, sperm size appears to have evolved as a secondary adaptation to sperm competition that is independent of the initial increase in sperm velocity. The reasons for this macroevolutionary pattern remain unclear. One possibility is that an increment in speed may initially arise by morphological rearrangements of the sperm cell leading to higher thrust and reduced drag, for example through...

Comparison of Two Flow Cytometric Methods for Detection of Human Invariant Natural Killer T Cells (iNKT)

Background: Invariant natural killer cells (iNKT) are an important immunoregulatory T cell subset. Currently several flow cytometry-based approaches exist for the identifi-cation of iNKT cells, which rely on using the 6B11 monoclonal antibody or a combina-tion of anti-Vα24 and anti-Vβ11 antibodies. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the ability of two flow cytometry-based methods f...

Activating natural killer (NK) cytotoxicity of canine CD5−CD21− cells requires low surface CD5 density NK cells

Natural killer (NK) cells play a crucial role in regulating immune functions. Few studies have characterized canine NK cells. We previously demonstrated that canine peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) with a low surface CD5 density (CD5lo) are considered a critical NK population. Natural killer cells in most mammals do not express T-cell markers, but canine CD5lo cells express surface molecules...
