I am not an expert in NK cells, but I have heard of a family of
molecules that are thought to be the "NK receptor." Two of these
receptors are named NK1.1 and NK 2.1. It is important to note that
these molecules are not found on all NK cells, just a limited
subset.
Maybe this information is of some use to you. For more info,
here is the reference:
Morelli et al. Journal of Immunology, 151:6783-93, Dec 15, 1993
Hope this helps,
Dave
