Lung natural killer cells in mice: phenotype and response to respiratory infection.

Abstract excerpt

Natural killer (NK) cells have a specialized function in peripheral organs, which is determined by the organ-specific niches. We have attempted to explore whether lung NK cells display a particular phenotype according to their function in the unique pulmonary environment in health or during respiratory infection in mice.
