Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology

Context:

  • Natural Killer (NK) cells are crucial innate immune lymphocytes.
  • Understanding NK cell function is vital for immunotherapy and disease research.

Purpose:

  • To review recent data on the phenotypic markers and receptors of human and animal NK cells.
  • To elucidate the phenotypic heterogeneity and functional regulation of NK cells.
  • To describe the cytotoxic mechanisms employed by NK cells.

Summary:

  • Recent data highlight the diverse phenotypic markers and receptor repertoire of human and animal NK cells.
  • NK cell function is intrinsically linked to the modulatory signals received from activating and inhibitory receptors, influencing their heterogeneity.
  • The article details the molecular mechanisms underlying NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity.

Impact:

  • Provides a comprehensive overview of current knowledge on NK cell biology.
  • Serves as a reference for researchers investigating NK cell-mediated immunity and therapeutic applications.
  • Enhances understanding of NK cell heterogeneity and its functional implications in health and disease.
