Lack of homology between human and chicken K cells.
Evidence for lack of homology between human and chicken K cells is presented. K cell activity was demonstrated by means of antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). It was shown that human lymphocytes do not cooperate with avian antibodies in killing target cells by ADCC mechanism and that chicken lymphocytes do not mediate ADCC with mammalian antibodies.
