abstract：:We have previously reported that the capacity of highly malignant B16BL6 murine melanoma cells to induce cell death in naive syngeneic lymphocytes stems from the absence of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I glycoproteins in these melanoma cells.

The previously unknown cells were thus named "natural" killer cells, or NK cells. They are roughly defined by a lack of the T cell marker CD3 and a presence of CD56 (o...
