BACKGROUND: Natural killer (NK) cells play a dichotomous role in alloimmune responses because they are known to promote both allograft survival and rejection. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of functionally distinct NK cell subsets in alloimmunity with the hypothesis that this dichotomy is explained by the functional heterogeneity of distinct NK cell subsets. METHODS: Because T-bet controls...
