Clinical Investigation of Natural Killer Cells Treatment in Pneumonia Patients Infected With 2019 Novel Coronavirus

Since december 2019, acute respiratory disease due to 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) emerged in Wuhan city and rapidly spread throughout China. There is no confirmed antivirus therapy for 2019-nCoV infection. Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that may serve as useful effectors against danger infection.
