Human NK Cell Subsets in Pregnancy and Disease: Toward a New Biological Complexity.

abstract：:Natural killer cells (NK) represent a population of lymphocytes involved in innate immune response. In addition to their role in anti-viral and anti-tumor defense, they also regulate several aspects of the allo-immune response in kidney transplant recipients. Growing evidence suggests a key role of NK cells in the pat...
