Limitations of NK Cells in Fighting against the Large and Established Tumors

NK cells are effective in nipping the tumor cells in fringes but they are helpless in fighting with the large and established tumors. The complex immunosuppressive milieu present in the NK cell limits its ability to fight the microenvironment in tumor.

Different inhibitory receptors also try to control the functioning of the NK cell. The specific ligands expressed on the tumor cell surface or de novo induced/up-regulated immunostimulatory factors released during the active phases of the immune responses  exert an unwonted side effect called “tumor adaptive immune resistance” limits the efficiency of NK cells.
