Abstract EN
Neonates are particularly susceptible to various pathogens compared to adults, which is attributed in part to their immature innate and adaptive immunity.
Natural killer cells provide first-line innate immune reactions against virus-infected cells without prior sensitization.
This review updates phenotypic and functional deficiencies of neonatal cells compared to their adult counterparts and their clinical implications.
