Abstract
Natural cell mediated immunity is a well-defined system that may play a role in cancer defence. In contrast to specific T-cell mediated immunity, the mediators of natural immunity, Natural Killer (NK) cells, appear to be non-specific and their lytic activity is not restricted by major histocompatibility (MHC) determinants1.
