Question:

What is the role of Natural killer cells?

Author: Shay 1vcc



Answer:

Important in defense against virus-infected, and tumour cells and also important in removing stressed and dying cells. Kills target cells by binding to and releasing cytotoxic granules (perforin and granzyme) which then enters the target cell to induce apoptosis (similar to CTL).
