(T-cells have their on receptor like CD4 CD8.) B cells has their on antibodies. NK cells are not having surface markers. their cell surface are normal no protein bind or any type of structure on surface. Bcell and Tcell are involved in processing. B cell are firstly produce antibodies and then attack on antigens. thus,T cells killl antigens by binding on their receptors. but what NK cells do? they naturally k...
