Brief description Natural Killer (NK) cells are an important component of the immune response to cancer and infection. This project will define the molecular targets that are recognised by NK cells. This knowledge can then be used to guide in the selection of bone marrow donors in the treatment of leukemias as well as understanding how we fight off infections.
