　　Natural killer(NK)cells have traditionally been viewed as innate effector lymphocytes that serve as a first-line defense against a range of viruses and tumors.More recently,the importance of NK cell immunoregulatory functions has been highlighted.NK cells can inhibit antiviral T cell responses and also play an important role in controlling harmful T cell activity in autoimmunity and transplantation settings.
