| Abstract |
Natural killer (NK) cells are important in host defense against tumors and microbial pathogens. Recent studies indicate that NK cells share many features with the adaptive immune system, and like B cells and T cells, NK cells can acquire immunological memory. Here, we review evidence for NK cell memory and the molecules involved in the generation and maintenance of these self-renewing NK cells that provide enhanced protection of the host. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 March 2020.
All research outputs
#6,237,041
of 22,815,414 outputs
Outputs from Current topics in microbiology and immunology
#152
of 681 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#72,495
of 263,968 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current topics in microbiology and immunology
#3
of 13 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,815,414 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 681 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 263,968 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 13 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
