Abstract
Substantial advancements have been made in recent years in comprehending immune memory, which enhances the secondary response through prior infections. The ability of vertebrate T and B lymphocytes to exhibit classic recall responses has long been regarded as a distinguishing characteristic. However, natural killer (NK) cells have been found to acquire immunological memory in a manner akin to T and B cells. The fundamental principles derived from the investigation of NK cell memory offer novel insights into innate immunity and have the potential to pave the way for innovative strategies to enhance therapeutic interventions against multiple diseases including cancer. Here, we reviewed the fundamental characteristics, memory development and regulatory mechanism of NK cell memory. Moreover, we will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the accomplishments, obstacles, and future direction pertaining to the utilization of NK cell memory in the field of cancer immunotherapy.
近年来,人们在理解免疫记忆方面取得了长足进步,免疫记忆可增强对先前感染的次级反应。脊椎动物的 T 淋巴细胞和 B 淋巴细胞能够表现出典型的记忆反应,这一点一直被认为是与众不同的特征。然而,人们发现自然杀伤(NK)细胞获得免疫记忆的方式与 T 和 B 细胞相似。从对 NK 细胞记忆的研究中得出的基本原理提供了对先天性免疫的新见解,并有可能为创新战略铺平道路,以加强对包括癌症在内的多种疾病的治疗干预。在此,我们回顾了 NK 细胞记忆的基本特征、记忆发展和调控机制。此外,我们还将对癌症免疫疗法领域利用 NK 细胞记忆的成就、障碍和未来方向进行全面评估。
