Complement- and antibody-mediated cytotoxicity in influenza virus-infected cells. (A) Binding of antibodies to NP peptides on the cell surface recruits complement factors to form membrane attack complex (MAC) on the cell membrane and induce cell lysis. (B) On the infected cell surface, NK cells bind to NP-specific antibodies and induce cell death via perforin and granzyme.
