Definition (MSH)
|
Bone marrow-derived lymphocytes that possess cytotoxic properties, classically directed against transformed and virus-infected cells. Unlike T CELLS; and B CELLS; NK CELLS are not antigen specific. The cytotoxicity of natural killer cells is determined by the collective signaling of an array of inhibitory and stimulatory CELL SURFACE RECEPTORS. A subset of T-LYMPHOCYTES referred to as NATURAL KILLER T CELLS shares some of the properties of this cell type.

Definition (MSHCZE)

Lymfocyty získané z kostní dřeně, které mají cytotoxické vlastnosti, přirozeně namířené proti transformovaným buňkám a buňkám infikovaným virem. NK buňky nejsou na rozdíl od T buněk a B buněk antigenově specifické (projevuje se nespecifickou imunitou). Cytotoxicita těchto buněk je zajištěna pomocí receptorů na povrchu buněk, které společně signalizují stavy inhibice a stimulace buněk. Jedná se o podskupina T-LYMPHOCYTŮ, která bývá označována jako „přirození zabíječi“ (NKT BUŇKY) (angl. natural killers) a sdílí s těmito buňkami některé vlastnosti. R

Definition (NCI)
|
Natural killer cells are cells that resemble large granular lymphocytes. They do not express markers of either T or B cell lineage. They are positive for CD16, CD56, and CD 94. These cells do possess Fc receptors for IgG and can kill target cells using antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. They can also use perforin to kill cells in the absence of antibody and killing may occur without previous sensitization.

Definition (NCI_NCI-GLOSS)
|
A type of immune cell that has granules (small particles) with enzymes that can kill tumor cells or cells infected with a virus. A natural killer cell is a type of white blood cell.
|
Definition (PSY)
|
White blood cells that kill tumor- and virus-infected cells as part of the body's immune system.
|
Definition (CSP)
|
type of cytotoxic leukocytes which attack and kill virus-infected or neoplastic cells independent of antibody coating or MHC restriction; may be derived from lymphocytes or monocytes.
