title: Analysis of individual natural killer cell responses.
abstract: Typical assays for natural killer (NK) cell function assess the responses of entire NK cell populations. It is now possible to determine the responses of individual NK cells. Herein, two representative assays are described along with examples of how they have helped clarify current understanding of NK cell biology.
