The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Pre-activation with IL-12, IL-15, and IL-18 induces CD25 and a functional high affinity IL-2 receptor on human cytokine-induced memory-like NK cells (2014, background): “Additionally, activated mouse NK cells, either in the context of in vivo viral infection or in vitro cytokine stimulation, undergo substantial proliferation [4,33].”
Induced recruitment of NK cells to lymph nodes provides IFN-γ for TH1 priming (2004, background): “Activated NK cells kill target cells and produce inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor and IFN-γ, thereby acting as primary mediators of innate immunity in peripheral inflamed tissue”
NK cell development, homeostasis and function: parallels with CD8+ T cells (2011, background): “Although considered as innate immune cells, NK cells constitute the third major lineage of lymphocytes, the other lineages of which are B and T cell”
Lethal influenza infection in the absence of the natural killer cell receptor gene Ncr1 (2006, background): “Natural killer (NK) cells are able to quickly kill a wide range of pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and intracellular parasite”
CD27 Dissects Mature NK Cells into Two Subsets with Distinct Responsiveness and Migratory Capacity1 (2006, background): “of the NK cell lineage (3, 18), mature NK cell differentiation is”
