Molecular Mechanisms Directing Migration and Retention of Natural Killer Cells in Human Tissues

A large body of data shows that Natural Killer (NK) cells are immune effectors exerting a potent cytolytic activity against tumors and virus infected cells. The discovery and characterization of several inhibitory and activating receptors unveiled most of the mechanisms allowing NK cells to spare he...
