Antimicrobial polypeptides and lipids as a part of innate defense mechanism of fish and human fetus
(2005-11-18)
Animals are constantly threatened by vast numbers of microbes and have
consequently evolved an array of strategies to prevent microbial
invasion. In this thesis, I have studied natural antimicrobial lipids and
polypeptides ...
Mechanisms influencing natural killer cell recognition of tumour cells
(2016-04-12)
Natural killer (NK) cells are part of our innate immune defence against virus-infected and transformed cells. Through a yet undefined mechanism, expression of inhibitory receptors for self-HLA class I molecules endow NK ...
Receptor localization and dynamics of murine natural killer cells at single cell level : using advanced fluorescence microscopy
(2017-12-21)
Natural Killer (NK) cells are immune cells and important for the defense against virally infected and malignant cells. NK cells are regulated by germline encoded activating and inhibitory receptors. Activating receptors ...
NK cell education and adhesion molecules : implications for immunotherapy
(2016-05-19)
NK cells have a key role in immune surveillance. They detect aberrant expression of stressinduced molecules and MHC class I molecules with an array of activating and inhibitory
receptors. Inhibitory receptors are not only ...
