Natural killer cells: Stress out, turn on, tune in
نویسندگان
چکیده
Natural killer cells attack tumor cells, infected cells and some normal cells, but the basis of their specificity is not completely understood. Recent studies indicate that epithelial tumor cells upregulate a stress-induced MHC class-I-like protein termed MICA, triggering NK cells via a recently described receptor called NKG2D.

Background: Pregnancy is a phenomenon that antigens of semi allogenic fetus are in direct contact with mother's immune system. Immune dysregulation can cause fetus rejection by mother's immune system responses. Human leukocyte antigen-G1, as an immunotolerant molecule has a major role to induce tolerance during pregnancy by suppression of natural killer cells through inhibitor receptors on thes...

Among immune system components natural killer (NK) cells are the first line of defence against tumor cells. The decreasing activity of these cells can be associated with carcinogenesis, in situ tumor growth and metastasis of different cancers, viral infections, immunodeficiency syndroms and autoimmune diseases. In this study natural killer activity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (Effecto...
