Adaptive immune features of natural killer cells.

Nature - 29 Jan 2009

Sun Joseph C, Beilke Joshua N, Lanier Lewis L

Abstract excerpt

In an adaptive immune response, naive T cells proliferate during infection and generate long-lived memory cells that undergo secondary expansion after a repeat encounter with the same pathogen. Although natural killer (NK) cells have traditionally been classified as cells of the innate immune system, they share many similarities with cytotoxic T lymphocytes. We use a mouse model of cytomegalovirus infection to...
