Natural killer cells (NK cells) are a distinct subset of mononuclear cells that rapidly kill certain tumor cell lines and even normal cells without a prior sensibilization to the targets. Probably, NK cells are the "first line of defence" in the body against foreign agents. A hypothesis about the role of NK cells in the natural antitumor resistance and in the control of cell proliferation and differentiation has recently been confirmed.
自然杀伤细胞（NK细胞）是单核细胞的一个独特亚群，可迅速杀死某些肿瘤细胞系，甚至正常细胞，而无需预先对靶标致敏。NK细胞可能是机体抵御外来病原体的“第一道防线”。最近，关于NK细胞在天然抗肿瘤抗性以及细胞增殖和分化控制中的作用的假说已得到证实。
