NKp44 and Natural Cytotoxicity Receptors as Damage Associated Molecular Pattern Recognition Receptors
Natural Killer (NK) cells are a key constituent of the innate immune system, protecting against bacteria, virally infected cells, and cancer. Recognition and protective function against such cells is dictated by activating and inhibitory receptors on the surface of the NK cell which bind to specifi...
