## Abstract Oral squamous cell carcinoma is a disfiguring, highly invasive and metastatic cancer. Despite advances in detection and therapy, many patients will continue to face a poor prognosis. It is well established that the predominate factor determining overall survival in patients with oral sq
NK cell functions for regulation of T cell responses were evaluated during acute viral infections. In vivo depletion studies established that the presence of NK cells in murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV)-infected immunocompetent mice negatively affected CD4 and CD8 T cell IFN-+ expression, bromodeoxyuri
## Abstract Natural killer (NK) and cytotoxic T (Tc) cells are prime effector populations in the antiviral response of the host. Tc cells are essential for recovery from many viral diseases but may also be responsible for immunopathology. The role of NK cells in recovery from viral infections is le
