NK Cells

Natural Killer Cells (NK cells) are important effector cells in combating viral infections and neoplasms. Their cytotoxic activity is controlled by multiple receptors that recognize MHC class I antigens. Cells that lack the appropriate MHC class I are lysed because the inhibitory receptor is not engaged. For further information see the review articles listed below.

We offer NK cells isolated by either negative or positive immunomagnetic selection. To see cell count, viability and flow cytometric analysis of each lot, click on the links in the table.
