Question
Chapter 15.3, Problem 15ELO
Summary Introduction
To identify:
The concepts of natural killer cells and superantigens.
Introduction:
Natural killer (NK) cells are a type of lymphocyte related to T cells that are part of cytotoxic cell mediated immunity (CMI).
Super antigens are founds primarily in bacteria and viruses, actually it is a form of virulence factor.
