Abstract:Background: The Natural cytotoxicity receptors (NCR1 and NCR3) have been classically defined as activating receptors delivering potent signals to Natural Killer (NK) cells in order to lyse harmful cells and to produce inflammatory cytokines. Indeed, the elicitation of NK cells effector functions after engagement of NCRs with their ligands on tumor cells without the need for prior antigen recognition is one of the main mechanisms that allow a rapid clearance of tumor cells. Objectives: Evaluation of the diagnos… Show more
