Adaptive Natural Killer Cells Integrate Interleukin-18 during Target-Cell Encounter

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection induces adaptations in the natural killer (NK)-cell compartment. Expanded subsets of adaptive NK cells display potent effector functions against cellular targets, despite their apparent unresponsiveness to stimulation with classical dendritic cell-derived cytok...
