Utente:Armin6/Linfociti T natural killer

Le cellule T natural killer (NKT) cells sono un gruppo eterogeneo di linfociti T che condividono alcune proprietà sia dei linfociti T che delle cellule natural killer.are a heterogeneous group of T cells that share properties of both T cells and natural killer cells. Many of these cells recognize the non-polymorphic CD1d molecule, an antigen-presenting molecule that binds self and foreign lipids and glycolipids. They constitute only approximately 0.1% of all peripheral blood T cells.[1] Natural killer T cells should not be confused with natural killer cells.
