Killer Activation Receptors (KARs) are receptors expressed on the plasma membrane (cell membrane) of Natural Killer cells . KARs work together with Killer I nhibitory Receptors (abbreviated as KIRs in the text), which inactivate KARs in order to regulate the NK cells functions on hosted or transformed cells . [ 1 ]
In cell biology, a lymphokine-activated killer cell (also known as a LAK cell) is a white blood cell, consisting mostly of natural killer, natural killer T, and T cells that has been stimulated to kill tumor cells, but because of the function in which they activate, and the cells they can successfully target, they are classified as different than the classical natural killer and T lymphocyte ...
Natural killer cells often lack antigen-specific cell surface receptors, so are part of innate immunity, i.e. able to react immediately with no prior exposure to the pathogen. In both mice and humans, NKs can be seen to play a role in tumor immunosurveillance by directly inducing the death of tumor cells (NKs act as cytolytic effector ...
New tests done by the Environmental Working Group have found 21 oat-based cereals and snack bars popular amongst children to have "troubling levels of glyphosate." The chemical, which is the ...
YouTubers are people mostly known for their work on the video sharing platform YouTube. The following is a list of YouTubers for whom Wikipedia has articles either under their own name or their YouTube channel name. This list excludes people who, despite having a YouTube presence, are primarily known for their work elsewhere.
Natural Born Killers would appear in theaters in the summer of 1994, just as the twenty-four-hour news cycle was tightening its stranglehold on American life. CNN came on the air June 1, 1980, and ...
Rachel Gilbert, 35, who was diagnosed with incurable cancer as a teenager, is still alive two decades later thanks to experimental drugs – and good luck.
Cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK) cells are a group of immune effector cells featuring a mixed T- and natural killer (NK) cell-like phenotype.They are generated by ex vivo incubation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) or cord blood mononuclear cells with interferon-gamma (), anti-CD3 antibody, recombinant human interleukin (IL)-1 and recombinant human interleukin (IL)-2.
