View full abstract and other project information on NIH RePORTER Go To NIH RePORTER Excerpt: The innate immune system serves is the first response to diseased cells and infectious agents. Natural Killer (NK) cells and macrophages are primary components of this system. Although their functions differ, they both require the expression of NKLAM (Natural Killer Lytic-Associated Molecule) for optimal function. Accordingly, elucidating the role of NKLAM in innate immunity has important biological and clinical significance. NKLAM is up-regulated in NK cells upon exposure to tumor cells or cyt... |
