Abstract
NK cells are a subset of innate lymphoid cells originally identified in mice and humans based on their ability to mediate cytotoxicity against transformed cells. However, two recent back-to-back studies in this issue of Cancer Discovery reveal that NK cell infiltration is not always beneficial; rather, it can impair the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade through immune-regulatory mechanisms. See related article by Pozniak et al., p. 1819 See related article by Song et al., p. 1835.
NK细胞是先天淋巴样细胞的一个子集,最初在小鼠和人类中发现,基于它们介导细胞毒性的能力。然而,最近在本期《癌症发现》杂志上发表的两项连续研究表明,NK细胞浸润并不总是有益的;相反,它可以通过免疫调节机制削弱免疫检查点封锁的功效。参见Pozniak et al., p. 1819的相关文章参见Song et al., p. 1835的相关文章。
