Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Constant monitoring of normal tissue by NK cells NK cells Recognize cell surface markers on foreign cells Destroy cells with foreign antigens Nonspecific Defenses, Immunological surveillance
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings NK cell activation Recognition of unusual surface proteins Rotation of the Golgi toward the target cell and production of perforins Release of perforins by exocytosis Interaction of perforins causing cell lysis
