Activation of innate immunity (natural killer [NK] cell/interferon-c [IFN-c]) has been shown to play an important role in antiviral and antitumor defenses as well as antifibrogenesis. However, little is known about the regulation of innate immunity during chronic liver injury. Here, we compared the
## 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 lym
