Recent studies have identified cell surface molecules that appear to play important roles in natural killer cell specificity for their targets. Natural killer cells display activation 'receptors', such as NKR-PI molecules in rodents, that may activate cytotoxicity by transducing biochemical signals.
## Abstract Expansion of the natural killer (NK) subset of lymphocytes represents a rare leukemia phenotype with variations in clinical presentation, morphology, surface phenotype, and effector function. This paper reports on a 5‐year‐old male patient who had an unusual presentation of an NK cell l
