Once they have penetrated the first line of defense, NK cells are the principal defenders against only tumor cells or virally infected cells.
<h3>What are NK cells?</h3>
A particular class of immune cell that contains granules, or tiny particles, that contain enzymes that can destroy cancer cells or virus-infected cells. White blood cells, or NK cells, are one type of them. known as NK-LGL and natural killer cell, respectively.
Natural killer (NK) cells are effector lymphocytes of the innate immune system that regulate various tumour types and bacterial infections by preventing their growth and subsequent tissue damage.
Human NK cells are created from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), and as they transition from being CD56high to CD56low, KIRs, CD57, and NKG2C are expressed on terminally differentiated NK cells. During this time, NKG2A is gradually lost.
