Big thumbs up for doing a video on natural killer cells and apoptosis. Most people never get to hear about these fascinating aspects of our body, and yet NK cells are some of the key players that deal with COVID-19 for example.

Thank you so much for making this video. I'm a senior high school student from Taiwan. Our biology teacher is teaching about immune systems now. But I have a question about NK cells. Since our teacher said that MHC I appears in every cell with nucleus, I wonder why NK cell won't attack the RBCs in our body?(Since our RBCs don't have nucleus when it's functional) Is there other way for NK cells to tell apart normal and abnormal cells in our body? (I'm sorry that my english is poor......)

Hi. Thanks for putting together this wonderful interactive presentation. I have the following questions. 1. If genome for MHC-1 is mutated, would NK-Cell still be able to detect and destroy the abnormal cells or CD8 T Cell will be the one to take care of it? 2. Do abnormal cells always express NK-Cell activating Ligand/FAS? Would they be downregulated just like MHC-1 in abnormal cells to evade the NK cells? If they are downregulated, what will be other possible mechanisms to destroy the abnormal cells? Thanks in Advance. By the way, I enjoy your art work and they are cute. The Art work for NK cell is my favorite. :)

Pardon the personal question. I had bad food poisoning several years ago and had no problems with dairy before that. Right after the food poisoning I was suddenly lactose intolerant and have been ever since. I've always wondered if my immune system targeted my lactase producing cells prior to or during the renovation (healing) that I had after the the food poisoning? Great video, Thanks!

This is an interesting question. Often allergies and autoimmune diseases happen during a bad infection. If your food poisoning was caused by a bacteria or virus than yes it could have caused an allergy. I have a video on allergy, if you want to check it out. It covers more of your question. Sorry to hear it was so rough.

@@friendlyneighborhoodimmuno7192 Very much appreciate your answer FNI. I guess all of this is academic now for me. But I should have written that I'm now lactose intolerant, which is different from developing an allergy to milk protein, for example. My theory has been that since lactase enzyme producing cells in most people across the world cease to work into adulthood. That, maybe during my time of great duress that my immune system nuked everything that wasn't part of the adult person template. By the way, I'm the only person in my family history to have problems with milk throughout their lives. All the elders were still requesting ice cream in their 90's. Thanks again for reading my case. Guess that's the way it goes for me, could be worse. :)

What causes the cancer to “hide” from NK cells, since what it hides is normally a cloak for T Cells, and do we know if all cancers have an MR1 marker (correct me if I’m wrong). Very informative thank you.

What bibliography do you recommend?

In vitro it seems one needs to have a 4 NK cells to 1 target cell ratio to achieve >50% target cell killing. Also the NK cells seem to undergo apoptosis after a few killing cycles. Do you have any experience in this regard? Why do they act less efficient in vitro even after stimulation?

Hi, struggling immunology student here. Do natural killer cells only respond to MHC 1? Must be right? Becuase MHC II goes through a different process through APC's for the Tcells to handle right? OR do NK cells respond to both....

Trying to discover and understand how the different layers interact. Please help. Are these statement and their flow correct: 1- Innate immune system uses Dendritic cells, T cells and Natural killer cells to fight off virus infection not allowing it to get inside your body. 2- It does that without the Antibodies ever becoming involved. 3- Antibodies do not keep a virus out. They can only react to something that has already got inside the body.

The original jab 3 months ago should have boosted the memory B cells and T cells you made after getting COVID in January. Your immune cells especially CD4 and CD8 T cells are amazing and rarely get exhausted. Your scenario is a real mystery. I just read that most people who have recovered from COVID and then get vaccinated have the greatest level of protection. My guess would be that you did not make as many antibodies as expected, or you had a large infectious dose of COVID. I'm a PhD not a medical doctor, but I would recommend having your doctor check your antibody levels. I hope you feel better soon.

Does that mean that CD8 T cells kill normal body cells with MHC-1 ?

That's a fascinating question. Right now we don't have the ability to target the perforin well enough to a virus. The reason it works for the natural killer cells is because it is applied to cells that lack MHC-I. If you took it as a pill, it would kill any cells it encountered. Perhaps perforin could be injected into a solid tumor, but perforin will kill any cell it touches.

Hello ma'am. Thank you for this video! Very easy to digest. Sorry to pester you about this again but I have some follow up questions on the Novavax vaccine; I don't know how else to reach you which is why I have to resort to the comments section of your videos. You said that in other lipid nanoparticle vaccines, 83% stay in arm muscle and the rest circulate in the blood and is removed by the liver and the spleen in 24-72 hours. A few more questions if you don't mind. 1) Does this mean the 83% remains in the arm muscle to this day? 2) And if so, what do they do there? Just settle there? They are not harming the person? I'm just wondering where they go after immunizing the person. 3) Are these lipid nanoparticle types of vaccines safe for women who plan to get pregnant? 4) I also would like to hear your thoughts on Dr Geert Vanden Bossche's thoughts on mass vaccination. And if it only applies to the mRNAs like Pfizer and Moderna, and viral vectors like AstraZeneca and J&J? Link to his video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lHWoyZpugaixd84.html ZDoggMD uploaded a reaction to it here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gHmts8uYj926pdI.html Sorry if these are stupid questions.

Now that's not science, but so far there are no reports of women who are vaccinated having trouble getting pregnant. In fact, in the Pfizer clinical trials 12 women got pregnant while taking the vaccine and placebo had 11 women get pregnant. 4) That's gonna take me a minute. I'll get back to you.
