摘要
Natural killer (NK) cells can detect whether cells have undergone tumor transformation or viral infection. The discovery of specific inhibitory receptors for major histocompatibility complex class I molecules clarified the basis of this discrimination. However, the receptors responsible for NK-cell triggering in the process of natural cytotoxicity remained elusive until recently. Here, Alessandro Moretta and colleagues describe the identification and characterization of several such receptors.
