Cell-mediated immunity

Cellular immunity, also known as cell-mediated immunity, is an immune response that does not rely on the production of antibodies.

See KLRC4 and Cell-mediated immunity

Gene

In biology, the word gene has two meanings.

See KLRC4 and Gene

Humoral immunity

Humoral immunity is the aspect of immunity that is mediated by macromolecules – including secreted antibodies, complement proteins, and certain antimicrobial peptides – located in extracellular fluids.

See KLRC4 and Humoral immunity

Lectin

Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that are highly specific for sugar groups that are part of other molecules, so cause agglutination of particular cells or precipitation of glycoconjugates and polysaccharides.

See KLRC4 and Lectin

Lymphocyte

A lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell (leukocyte) in the immune system of most vertebrates.

See KLRC4 and Lymphocyte

Lysis

Lysis is the breaking down of the membrane of a cell, often by viral, enzymic, or osmotic (that is, "lytic") mechanisms that compromise its integrity.

See KLRC4 and Lysis

Natural killer cell

Natural killer cells, also known as NK cells or large granular lymphocytes (LGL), are a type of cytotoxic lymphocyte critical to the innate immune system.

See KLRC4 and Natural killer cell

NKG2

NKG2 also known as CD159 (Cluster of Differentiation 159) is a receptor for natural killer cells (NK cells). KLRC4 and NKG2 are genes on human chromosome 12.

See KLRC4 and NKG2

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

See KLRC4 and Protein

Transmembrane protein

A transmembrane protein is a type of integral membrane protein that spans the entirety of the cell membrane.

See KLRC4 and Transmembrane protein
