it attacks the invaders by covering pseudopodia which covers like vacuole !!! then it digests the bacterium by chemosynthesis .
consuming the bacterial cell. (don't you mean helper T...?)
To kill Justin Bieber.
How a natural killer cells don't kill own or self cell because NK cells are non specific in nature
you would want killer t cells to be present because, they kill cells that are infected by viruses, and bacterium.
they are killer cells. they kill bacteria that enter your body
Lymphocyte contains natural killer cells (NK cells) because of the initial notion that they do not require prior activation in order to kill cells.
White blood cells that directly destroy virus-infected and cancerous cells are called?
Natural killer cells are non-phagocytic large granular lymphocytes. They kill virus-infected or cancerous cells before adaptive immune response. Natural killer cells recognise abnormal cells by its lack of cell-surface receptors such as major histocompatibility complex class 1 molecules. The natural killer cells will then secret perforin which forms pores in the cell membrane of the target cell. This results in either apoptosis or osmotic cell lysis. Natural killer cells also secrete alpha-defensins, a type of antimicrobial molecule, to directly kill bacteria by disrupting their cell walls.
Natural Killer Cells lack the membrane molecules that identify B and T cells, but they have the ability to kill a wide variety of infected body cells and certain tumor cells.
True, NK cells are there to protect the body from any type of abnormal growth in all tissues including cancer cells.
I have no idea what kind of cell kills cancer cells. Why do you think i asked the question?
It signals the killer T-cells to kill the bacteria. -WEHS- 2013.3.11
no it can not kill a orca killer whale
