AB  - SUMMARYNatural  killer  (NK)  cells,  with  a  predominant  morphology  of  large  granular  lymphocytes,  represent  a  lineage  of  lymphoid  cells  with  constitutive  ability  to  mediate  cytotoxicity  toward  pathologic  target  cells  and  secrete  cytokines.  NK  cells  participate  in  the  innate  resistance  to  microbial  pathogens  and  malignancies;  opposing  effects  of  activating  and  inhibitory  receptors  regulate  NK  cell  activity.  Malignant  expansions  of  NK  cells,  either  acute  or  chronic,  are  rare,  but  represent  well-identified  clinical  entities.
