Human natural killer (NK) cells: requirements for cell proliferation and expansion of phenotypically novel subpopulations.

abstract：:Gαq, the α-subunit of Gq protein, is ubiquitously expressed in mammalian cells. It initially attracted attention for its physiological significance in cardiovascular system. In recent years, studies have also indicated the important roles of Gαq in regulating immunity, supplying us a new insight into the mechanism of ...
