title: [Heterogeneity of natural killer (NK) cells in the human spleen].
abstract: Natural killer (NK) cells in the human spleen represent a population of 25% of splenic lymphocytes. They are mainly located in the red pulp. In this compartment they resemble blood NK-cells in function and phenotype. Within the lymph follicles only a small subset is detected, expressing a particular phenotype.
