NK cells are the most potent effectors against different tumors in vitro. However, their efficacy in vivo is compromised by suppressive signals delivered by tumor or tumor-associated cells. This study unravels the molecular mechanisms by which melanomas disarm NK cells and offers clues to revert such inhibitory effect.

Abstract

NK cells are the most potent effectors against different tumors in vitro. However, their efficacy in vivo is compromised by suppressive signals delivered by tumor or tumor-associated cells. This study unravels the molecular mechanisms by which melanomas disarm NK cells and offers clues to revert such inhibitory effect.
