NATURAL KILLER CELLS GEBUNDEN

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the discovery of Natural Killer (NK) cells  this volume
focuses on the recent advances in our understanding of NK cell development and differentiation
and their acquisition of functional properties  as well as the latest models for NK-cell
analysis in mice and applications in clinical medicine. NK cells have travelled a circuitous
path from their initial description as ¿spontaneous killers¿ (for some simply an experimental
artifact) to being a bona fide subset of innate lymphoid cells with a complementary mode of
action in immune defense and an important mediator of immune reactivity in health and disease.
Together  these reviews provide a timely and concise picture of the evolution of NK cells as
essential agents in immunity and as potent weapons against disease. This book offers an
appealing and insightful resource for scientists and clinicians.
