Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -NATURAL killer (NK) cells are large granular lymphocytes capable of killing tumour cells in a non-MHC restricted manner1, 2. NK cells do not express cell-surface CD3, or any known target recognition structure analogous to the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) heterodimers ( or )3–8.
Detailed explanation-2: -The CD56dim CD16bright NK cells represent at least 90% of all peripheral blood NK cells and are therefore the major circulating subset. A maximum of 10% are CD56bright NK cells. The various subsets can easily be distinguished by flow cytometry as depicted in Fig.
