Description

This image shows a natural killer cell, also known as an NK cell, a cytotoxic lymphocyte of the innate immune system. NK cells respond to stressed cells, such as tumor cells or those infected by a virus, by identifying them via abnormal membrane proteins and killing them. This allows for a fast immune reaction and makes NK cells a hot research topic as a therapeutic option for cancer.
