Natural Killer Cells from the Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Underexpress the NKp30 and NKp44 in Obese Persons and Are Less Active against Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I Non-Expressing Neoplastic Cells

Natural Killer Cells from the Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Underexpress the NKp30 and NKp44 in Obese Persons and Are Less Active against Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I Non-Expressing Neoplastic Cells

There are many types of leukocytes reside in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), and among them, natural killer cells (NKs) comprise a major part. We show that the NKs that reside in the SAT (adipose tissue-derived NK cells; ADNKs) of the abdominal region found with phenotypic differences from the NK...
