Covid-19 & NKs
NK Cells Play an Important
Role in the Treatment of
Infectious Diseases
A World at Risk
Our innate immune system provides the first line of defense against viruses, bacterial infection and pre-cancerous cells in the body. Fully functioning NK Cells are essential for a robust innate immune system. Covid-19 and other SARS viruses have demonstrated the global health risk of highly transmissible infectious diseases.
Current vaccines are unlikely to fully protect us from future mutations of these viruses, so effective therapies will be critical. Improving respiratory function in SARS patients will assist us in developing effective treatments for other infectious diseases.
