Introduction: The liver is the primary organ affected by ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) after shock, surgical resection, or transplantation. In this context, myeloid leukocytes as well as T cells have been intensively studied, as they are thought to be primarily propagating the injury response. Interestingly, recent evidence implies NK cells in the pathogenesis of IRI as well. Nevertheless, the precise role of NK cells in IRI still remains enigmatic and clearly warrants further investigation. Methods: Wild-type (wt) C57BL/6, B6.Rag and Rag-common-γ-chain (Rag-γc) double-KO mice were subjected to 60 min of par…
