Specialized Immune Cell Therapy Controls Tumor Growth

The immune system is comprised of various cells that work in concert to fight off disease. The two immune responses, innate and adaptive, are orchestrated to build a specific reaction to the invading pathogen. Dendritic cells are what connect the two responses. Specifically, dendritic cells will take proteins from the infected cells and present that piece of protein or antigen outside its surface. The expressed antigen is then detected by T cells, which…
