Cell Type Overview

Natural Killer (NK) cells are cytotoxic lymphocytes of the innate immune system. They provide rapid responses to virus-infected cells and tumor cells without prior sensitization. They use a balance of activating and inhibitory receptors to detect "missing self" (loss of MHC I) or "induced self" (stress ligands). They kill targets by releasing perforin and granzymes (cytotoxic granules) and through death receptor ligands like FasL.
