Historical overview on the morphological characterization of large granular lymphocytes/natural killer cells.

abstract：:B cell activating factor belonging to the TNF family (BAFF, also called BLyS, TALL-1, THANK, or zTNF4) is an important survival factor for B cells, and is able to regulate T cell activation. Recently, we have demonstrated that human soluble BAFF (hsBAFF) potently elevates NK cell activity of murine splenic cells in vi...
