Natural killer cells : role in local tumor growth and metastasis

Summarises natural killer (NK) cell mechanisms to kill cancer cells, their role in host immune responses against tumour growth or metastasis, and their implications in antitumour immunotherapies via cytokines, antibodies, or in combination with other therapies. Discusses also the regulatory role of...

Summary:Summarises natural killer (NK) cell mechanisms to kill cancer cells, their role in host immune responses against tumour growth or metastasis, and their implications in antitumour immunotherapies via cytokines, antibodies, or in combination with other therapies. Discusses also the regulatory role of NK cells in autoimmunity.
