Term Information

Accession
GO:0002420
Name
natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity directed against tumor cell target
Ontology
biological_process
Synonyms
NK cell mediated cytotoxicity directed against tumor cell target
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
The directed killing of a tumor cell by a natural killer cell through the release of granules containing cytotoxic mediators or through the engagement of death receptors. Source: PMID:16730260, ISBN:0781735149, GOC:add
Comment
Note that either or both mechanisms mentioned in the definition may be used in this process. Note that both granule release and the engagement of death receptors on target cells result in induction of apoptosis in the target cell.
