Abstract: Objective: Recently, a seemingly novel innate immune cell subset bearing features of natural killer and B cells was identified in mice. So-called NKB cells appear as first responders to infections, but whether this cell population… read more here.

Abstract: There is low-level but significant mucosal inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract secondary to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection that has long-term consequences for the infected host. This inflammation most likely originates from the immune response… read more here.

Abstract: Interferon-γ (IFN-γ)-producing natural killer (NK) cells and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) activate the adaptive system’s B and T cells in response to pathogenic invasion; however, how these cells are activated during infections is not yet… read more here.
