AK NK Cells and ILCs DGfI Study Groups

Under this new name, we are giving all colleagues within the DGfI who are interested in natural killer cells (NK cells) or innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) a platform where they can exchange scientific information and organise joint congresses. The former AK NK cell is thus merged into the new working group.

The most important topics are:

• Mechanisms of NK cell-mediated functions
• Cell-cell interaction of NK cells
• Immune regulation by NK cells
• NK cells in viral infections
• Immunotherapy of cancer based on NK cells
• Development of Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILC)
• ILCs for inflammatory diseases
• Tissue-specific properties of ILCs
