NK cells are important innate immune effectors during influenza virus infection. However, the influenza virus seems able to use several tactics to counter NK cell recognition for immune evasion. In this review, we will summarize and discuss recent advances regarding the understanding of NK cell evasion mechanisms manipulated by the influenza virus to facilitate its rapid replication inside the respiratory epithelial cells. immune evasion cellular immunology infectious Footnotes NA neuraminidase NCR natural cytotoxicity receptor NS nonstructural Received June 2, 2010.
