NK Cells and γδ+ T Cells Are Phenotypically and Functionally Defective due to Preferential Apoptosis in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis
1 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
Innate immune cells mediate a first line of defense against pathogens and determine the nature of subsequent acquired immune responses, mainly by producing profound amounts of cytokines. Given these diverse tasks, it is predictable that defective NK and gammadelta(+) T cell responses could be the underlying mechanism for the immunological alterations observed in atopic dermatitis (AD). Indeed, the frequencies of...
