Opis

This volume provides a state-of-the-art survey of developments in the field of NK cell-cancer cell interactions, activation, and oncolytic signaling. Specific topics discussed include NK cell receptors and adhesion molecules, signal transduction and activation, and mechanisms of cytotoxicity. The book will be an excellent learning tool and reference resource for scientists, clinicians, and students.
