Journal ArticleDOI

Functions of natural killer cells

TL;DR: Although NK cells might appear to be redundant in several conditions of immune challenge in humans, NK cell manipulation seems to hold promise in efforts to improve hematopoietic and solid organ transplantation, promote antitumor immunotherapy and control inflammatory and autoimmune disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of the transcription factor RORgammat on the development of NKp46+ cell populations in gut and skin.

TL;DR: The data show that lymphoid tissue–inducer cells and natural killer cells shared unanticipated similarities and emphasize the heterogeneity of NKp46+CD3− cells in innate immunity, lymphoid organization and local tissue repair.
Journal ArticleDOI

The trafficking of natural killer cells

TL;DR: The tissue localization of NK cells is described, using NKp46 as an NK cell marker, and the current knowledge on the mechanisms that govern their trafficking in humans and in mice is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective associations with signaling proteins determine stimulatory versus costimulatory activity of NKG2D

TL;DR: It is reported that alternative splicing leads to two distinct NKG2D polypeptides that associate differentially with the DAP10 and KARAP signaling subunits, which suggests a rationale for the multisubunit structure of stimulatory immunoreceptors.
