third line down in this article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibody-dependent_cellular_cytotoxicity) there is a hyperlink 'ADCC' in parentheses which actually links the viewer to the wikipedia article on the Abu Dhabi Combat Club (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADCC). i thought it would be most relevant to remove this hyperlink:). good day.

[edit] Changed introduction

I made the changes because I thought it was inappropriate to introduce the article describing 'cell mediated immunity'. Furthermore, I don't think that ADCC can really be classified as its own 'mechanism' of cell mediated immunity, as all three of the mentioned mechanisms (T cell, NK cell, ADCC) use the same 'mechanism' per say (i.e. granule exocytosis, perforin, granzymes), its just a question of different mechanisms of recognition.

I stated that the most common Fc on NK is CD16 because they have been shown to express CD32c too. Andy Rosenthal 07:02, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
