Abstract
The human natural killer (NK) cell in peripheral blood is a nonβthymusβdependent, (Fc+ C3β), Igβbearing lymphocyte and is probably identical to the human K cell, although not requiring the Fc receptor, in contrast to the K cell, for the lytic process. The human NK cell in tonsil and lymph node, on the other hand, is a nonβIgβ bearing T lymphocyte, lacking both Fc and C3 receptors.

NK cells are a phenotypically, morphologically and functionally heterogeneous population. This has led to the current thought that the non-MHC restricted cytotoxity is a cellular function that can be associated to different phenotypes. The recognition of the target cell and the conjugate formation i
