Expansion of dysfunctional CD56-CD16+NK cells in chronic hepatitis B patients

Ratna S. Wijaya et al.

Summary: This study investigated the phenotype and function of CD56- NK cells in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). CHB patients had a higher frequency of CD56- NK cells, which exhibited functional impairments and were positively correlated with serum HBV DNA levels.

The impact of hepatitis B surface antigen on natural killer cells in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection

Yanqin Du et al.

Summary: The study assessed the effects of HBsAg quantities on NK cell functionality in CHB patients, finding a reshaping of the NK cell pool towards more CD56(bright) NK cells during infection. Patients with low HBsAg levels displayed an activated NK cell phenotype with defective functional responses.

Echinococcus multilocularis induces surface high expression of inhibitory killer immunoglobulin-like receptor on natural killer cells

Bayindala et al.

Summary: This study showed that Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) patients exhibit significant changes in hepatic NK cell numbers and functions, potentially associated with liver fibrosis and immune cell dysfunction.

NK cells that differ in expression of NKp46 might play different roles in endometrium

Chuxian Mai et al.

Summary: The NKp46 receptor expression is decreased in reproductive failure patients. NKp46(dim) NK cells are involved in killing cells, whereas NKp46(bright) NK cells are involved in cytokine production.
