NCR3 and neuroblastoma: Similarly, dendritic cell (DC)-induced IFN-γ production by NK cells, as well as the expression of the NKp30 splice variant (immunosuppressive NKp30C variant vs. immunostimulatory NKp30A and B variants), was found to constitute an independent predictor of the long term survival of patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal cancer treated with Imatinib Mesylate [33] and those with neuroblastoma treated with chemotherapy [34].
