Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection has become a serious problem of public health. Recently, it is observed cellular immunity is involved in HIV infection and disease progression, especially the Natural Killer (NK) cells, which are important part of innate immunity. In order to clearly understand the mechanism of HIV infection, we try to figure out the function of NK cells during HIV infection. The article reviews the function of NK cells and the effect of NK cells in HIV infection.
