Chapter 23, Problem 6RFT
Summary Introduction
To review:
Match the term NK cells with the most closely related description given below:
Rapid secondary response.
Responsible for cell-mediated immunity,
Produce antibodies.
Aid in immune surveillance.
Contains developing T cells.
Immunoglobulins.
Responsible for antibody-mediated immunity.
Production of lymphocytes.
Saclike chamber of the thoracic duct.
Largest lymphatic organ in the body.
Introduction:
Natural killer (NK) cells are one of the types of the lymphocyte, which generate the cytotoxic response against the pathogen molecules. Further, a majority of the times, these NK cells play a role analogous to that of the T cells.
