Difference between Chikungunya and Natural killer cell

Chikungunya vs. Natural killer cell

Chikungunya is an infection caused by the chikungunya virus (CHIKV). Natural killer cells or NK cells are a type of cytotoxic lymphocyte critical to the innate immune system.

Similarities between Chikungunya and Natural killer cell

Chikungunya and Natural killer cell have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Antibody, CCL5, Cytokine, Immune system, Infection, Macrophage, Protein dimer, Virus.

Antibody

An antibody (Ab), also known as an immunoglobulin (Ig), is a large, Y-shaped protein produced mainly by plasma cells that is used by the immune system to neutralize pathogens such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses.

CCL5

Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5 (also CCL5) is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CCL5 gene.

Infection

Infection is the invasion of an organism's body tissues by disease-causing agents, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to the infectious agents and the toxins they produce.
