Genetic Depletion or Hyperresponsiveness of Natural Killer Cells Do Not Affect Atherosclerosis Development
18 Oct 2017
Abstract excerpt
Rationale: Chronic inflammation is central in the development of atherosclerosis. Both innate and adaptive immunities are involved. Although several studies have evaluated the functions of natural killer (NK) cells in experimental animal models of atherosclerosis, it is not yet clear whether NK cells behave as protective or proatherogenic effectors. One of the main caveats of previous studies was the lack of...
