Unlike T lymphocytes, NK cells mediate these effector functions without prior sensitization and in a non-MHC restricted fashion. Despite the efforts of many, a single activating receptor responsible for triggering natural cytotoxicity has yet to be elu

NK cells are not antigen specific in the classical sense and can be activated within hours without specific priming. In contrast, CTLs are induced by specific pepti
