1 NK cells have. 2  activating receptors, that activate the NK cell when it binds to a target cell, and. 3  inhibitory receptors that transmit an inhibitory signal if they encounter class I MHC molecules on a cell surface.erhaps the function of NKT cells is to provide quicker help for a cell-mediated immune response (IFN-Î³) or antibody-mediated response (IL-4) than the several days needed by conventional T-helper cells. If so, NKT cells would represent a link between innate and adaptive immunity.
