Among the high points of immunological discovery has been the identification of antigen-recognizing receptors on B and T cells. Of the lymphocyte populations, only the NK cell receptor remains unknown. Consequently, any newly-recognized, cell-surface molecules expressed selectively on NK cells, especially ones that can transmit a signal to the cell upon appropriate ligand interaction, are possible candidates. This article describes such candidates.
免疫学发现的重要成果之一是鉴定出了B细胞和T细胞上的抗原识别受体。在淋巴细胞群体中，只有自然杀伤（NK）细胞受体仍然未知。因此，任何新发现的、在NK细胞上选择性表达的细胞表面分子，尤其是那些在与适当配体相互作用时能向细胞传递信号的分子，都有可能是候选分子。本文介绍了这类候选分子。
