Complementary Activities of Cytotoxic T-cells and NK cells
Schematic diagram indicating the complementary activities of cytotoxic T-cells and NK cells. T-cells are activated by recognizing antigens, while NK cells are activated by not recognizing MHC I.
This schematic indicates the induction of apoptosis, cytolytic T cell, MHC I inhabitor receptor, natural killer cell, normal MHC class I expression, pathogenic antogen, MHC class I molecule, intracellular pathogen, and MHC Class I downregulation by pathogen: "Missing Self".
