NK CELLS
WHAT ARE NK CELLS?
Natural killer (NK) cells are core cells of the human innate immune system, produced in the bone marrow.
They are the "first responders" in the immune system, capable of rapidly responding to nonspecific foreign substances.
When the body detects foreign or abnormal substances, NK cells immediately initiate destruction and elimination.
They have the ability to destroy pathogenic cells, foreign invaders, and can detect the abnormal growth of cells within the body, such as viruses and cancer cells.

FAQ
01
WILL NK CELLS CAUSE REJECTION REACTIONS?
No, it will not.
Autologous NK cell therapy uses the patient's own immune cells, eliminating the risk of transplant rejection reactions and avoiding potential immune rejection issues associated with allogeneic transplantation.
02
WILL NK CELLS ATTACK OUR OWN NORMAL HEALTHY CELLS?
NK cells recognize normal healthy cells through a balance of inhibitory and activating signals. Normal healthy cells express MHC class I on their surface, which serve as inhibitory signals to NK cells.
These inhibitory signals interact with specific receptors on NK cells, signaling them not to attack the cell.
