Activated Natural Killer Cell
A cell that acts in a similar manner to a cytotoxic T cell and must be activated like a cytotoxic T cell. However, the killing exhibited by the cell is nonspecific and the cell does not require antigen/MHC recognition on the target cell. The lineage of the natural killer (NK) cell is currently not well understood. (NCI Thesaurus)
