What cells primarily target cancer cells?
Cells of the immune system, particularly certain types of white blood cells, primarily target cancer cells. The main types of immune cells involved in targeting cancer cells include: Cytotoxic T Cells (CD8+ T Cells): These cells directly attack and destroy cancer cells by recognizing specific antigens present on the surface of the cancer cells. Natural Killer (NK) Cells: NK cells are a type of lymphocyte that can recognize and kill abnormal cells, including cancer cells, without prior sensitization or the need for specific antigens. Macrophages: Macrophages are immune cells that engulf and digest foreign substances, including cancer cells, through a process called phagocytosis. They also play a role in presenting antigens to other immune cells to initiate an immune response against cancer. Dendritic Cells: Dendritic cells are antigen-presenting cells that capture antigens from cancer cells and present them to T cells, thereby activating an adaptive immune response against the cancer. Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs): These are lymphocytes that have migrated into the tumor microenvironment and are involved in recognizing and attacking cancer cells. Cytokine-Induced Killer (CIK) Cells: CIK cells are a type of immune cell that has been activated and expanded outside the body and then reintroduced into the patient to target and kill cancer cells. These immune cells, along with other components of the immune system, form a complex network known as the immune response, which plays a crucial role in recognizing and eliminating cancer cells from the body.
Which colorless gas produced by the radioactive decay of uranium-238 is considered to be a cancer causing agent?
Radon can cause cancer.
What types of cells display protein fragments produced by the cancer within them?
all nucleated cells.
Which colorless and odorless gas produced by radioactive decay of Uranium is considered to be a cancer causing agent?
Radon
Why are white blood cells fused with cancer cells to produce hybridomas?
because these cell also produced huge amount of antibodies for defense against disease. for example the cancer cell and the white cell. it produces antibodies
What produces white blood cells and other immune responses?
White blood cells are produced within your bone in the bone marrow. Bacteria, viruses, cancer or other types of illness can stimulate the production white blood cells.

What is cancer antigen 125?
Although produced by a number of cell types, CA 125 is primarily produced by ovarian cancer cells. Eighty percent of women with ovarian cancer have increased CA 125 levels.
What do macrophage do?
Macrophages are "big eaters" and are a type of white blood cell that engulf and digest cellular debris, foreign substances, microbes, and cancer cells in a process called phagocytosis.
What is cancer antigen 15-3?
produced by cells in the breast and increased levels can be associated with breast cancer.
Does cancer lower your sperm count?
Unless you had cancer of the testicles, cancer does not lower sperm count directly, but it is possible if you had a type of cancer that produced hormones, but it would be very uncommon for a cancer to produce sex hormones.
What ingredient in ketchup prevents cancer?
tomato (thougn most industrially produced ketchups are fakes that are likely to cause cancer).
Which colorless gas produced by the radioactive decay of uranium-238 is considered to be a cancer causing agent?
Radon can cause cancer.
What is a tumor marker?
Tumor markers are substances, usually proteins, that are produced by the body in response to cancer growth or by the cancer tissue itself.
Which colorless gas produced by the radioactive decay of uranium-238 is considered to be a cancer-causing agent?
Radon is a radioactive gas that can cause cancer.
What cancer stops periods?
The ovarian cancer is the type of cancer that stops periods. The ovarian cancer can also cause the post-menopausal women to start bleeding because the hormones that are produced make the lining of the womb thicker.
What can be caused by acids produced by plant roots?
Abscisic acid is produced by some plant roots.
