Cells that kill.: These are cells of the immune system that kill other cells that represent a danger to the body, like virally infected cellls and cancer cells. They have a natural ability to recognize stressed cells and can kill these without need of antibody or major histocompatability complex alteration to prime them, hence their name. Thus, they can present a much faster response than other immune cells.
