This thesis provides visual insights into how Natural Killer cells (a white blood cell in our body) can detect healthy cells from infected cells. However, a virus called cytomegalovirus can infect healthy cells and hide from Natural Killer cells using many evasion strategies. This study provides visual insights into these cytomegalovirus evasion strategies.
