NK cell-mediated editing of DC populations. a) NK cells perform quality control on all DCs in the circulatory system to ensure that only properly matured DCs, that express high levels of MHC class I are able to traffic to inductive sites. b) NK cells that come in contact with DCs that have been incompletely matured or infected (express low MHC class 1) are rapidly eliminated by NK cells.
