I have discovered that Umbilical Cord Stem Cells & Umbilical Chord blood are jam-packed with Natural Killer Cells aka NK Cells aka NKC. I have been testing patients at six months post stem cell therapy and NKC numbers have been exponentially higher. Usually, levels will run around 5-15 on 99% of patients but after stem cells the reading is >500 meaning that the laboratory can't even detect how many there are. And this is not just right after infusion but months later. do you know what natural killer cells do?Natural Killer Cells are part of your innate immune system meaning that they don't have to be triggered by antibodies and are always going around trying to find things to kill like cancer cells, bacteria, viruses, parasites. They are like that Pacman game if you remember that. Natural killer cells, are a type of cytotoxic lymphocyte critical to the innate immune system. NK cells provide rapid responses to viral-infected cells, acting at around 3 days after infection, and respond to tumor formation. Typically, immune cells detect major histocompatibility complex (MHC) presented on infected cell surfaces, triggering cytokine release, causing lysis or apoptosis. NK cells are unique, however, as they have the ability to recognize stressed cells in the absence of antibodies and MHC, allowing for a much faster immune reaction. They were named "natural killers" because of the initial notion that they do not require activation to kill cells that are missing "self" markers of MHC class. This role is especially important because harmful cells that are missing MHC I markers cannot be detected and destroyed by other immune cells, such as T lymphocyte cells.
