pubmed:abstractText |
Natural killer (NK) cells play a crucial role in innate immunity as effectors against tumor cells and pathogen-infected cells. Human NK cells can be subdivided into two functional subsets, the immunoregulatory CD56(bright) NK cells and the cytotoxic CD56(dim) NK cells. NK-mediated host defence against tumor cells is strongly impaired in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
