Lymphokine-activated killer cell
Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]
In cell biology, a lymphokine-activated killer cell (also known as a LAK cell) is a white blood cell that has been stimulated to kill tumour cells.[1] If lymphocytes are cultured in the presence of Interleukin 2, it results in the development of effector cells which are cytotoxic to tumour cells.[2]
