Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Célula del sistema inmunitario innato, llamada así porque tiene como misión matar a células cancerosas o infectadas por virus, o microorganismos extraños, normalmente ya atrapados por un anticuerpo. Las células asesinas naturales no atacan a un antígeno específico como hacen las células T citotóxicas. Se llaman asesinas "naturales" porque no necesitan estímulos adicionales o reconocer a un antígeno específico para atacarlo y matarlo. 3, record 1, Spanish, - c%C3%A9lula%20asesina%20natural
