Abstract Natural Killer (NK) cell-mediated cytotoxicity is a critical mechanism of the immune system to respond against harmful stimuli. The development emerging cell therapies, such as CAR-NK cells, requires deeper characterization cultured NK cells. Here we show phenotyping ex vivo and in vitro demonstrate how high quality reliable reagents from BioLegend ensure more depth cytotoxic analysis....

background: recurrent spontaneous abortion (rsa) and in vitro fertilization (ivf) failure with unknown causes are the controversial issues that are probably related to the immune system. objective: to compare circulating nk cells expressing activation and inhibition surface markers between patients with rsa and ivf failure with those of healthy multiparous and successful ivf control women, resp...

it has been recognized that acute and chronic stress has an impact on the immune system. acute stress may have a stimulating effect on the immune system, while in the case of chronic stress specially depression, the immune system could be down-regulated. however, an association between depression and a higher number of circulating white blood cells with increased activity has been reported. ele...

Background: Cancer is a public health emergency. It has a high mortality rate despite numerous studies on pharmaceutical therapies. Chimeric antigen receptor-natural killer (CAR-NK) cells are promising immunotherapy that could be used to treat cancer, especially leukemia. However, the evidence is still unclear. Thus, this systematic review aims to summarize the evidence regarding the use of CAR...

Abstract Background: Cure rates for osteosarcoma (OS) have not improved in >30 years and no new effectivetherapies been identified metastatic disease. Natural killer (NK) cells become an attractive tool cancer immunotherapy. Efficay is by direct tumor targeting introducing a specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Emerging knowledge suggests CD70 to be viable candidate as expression hi...
