Abnormal multiplication of the body's cells?
Cancer!! :(
What is Dysplasia in the human body?
Dysplasia-- Abnormal changes in cells.
How do viruses kill cancer cells?
Because they attack the cells in the body and cancer cells are just the mutated cell of our body very good question by the way
How does the body know which cells to attack?
The body's immune system is able to distinguish between self and non-self cells through various mechanisms. One such mechanism is the presence of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules on the surface of cells, which helps the immune system recognize self-cells. Non-self cells, such as infected or cancerous cells, may display abnormal proteins or antigens that are recognized as foreign by the immune system, prompting an immune response to attack and eliminate them.
Do body cells kill other body cells?
Yes, one example is autoimmune reactions in which our bodies can't determine friend from foe and start to attack our own cells by accident.

What provides a defense against abnormal cells and pathogens inside living cells?
The immune system of the body provide a defense against abnormal cells and pathogens inside living cells. Generally this results into rise in temperature of the body. Therefore, fever is the indication of having war against abnormal cells and pathogens.

Dysplasia-- Abnormal changes in cells.
Can cancer be transmitted by saliva?
No form of cancer is contagious. Leukemia is a cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow and causgees large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood. Even if your body would come into contact with one of these abnormal cells, it would simply attack the cell and get rid of it with white blood cells, the body's defense team.
Do antibodies directly attack T cells?
No, antibodies don´t attack T-cells, there is an autoimmune disease called antiphospholipd abtibody syndrome which is an autoimmune disorders occur if the body's immune system makes antibodies unable to recognize the foreign agent that might be harmful to cells and makes the T-cells attack and damage tissues or cells.
If you have cancer would you have an elevated wbc and what is the reason for this?
Yes, you would have a higher than normal WBC count. The common increase would be in in what are called Natural Killer (NK) lymphocytes. There are 3 functional classes of lymphocytes: 1. T cells (cell-mediated immunity) attack foreign cells directly 2. B cells (humoral immunity) differentiate into plasma cells which synthesize antibodies 3. Natural killer (NK) cells detect and destroy abnormal tissue cells such as cancers You could say that the NK's are trying their best for the body by killing as many abnormal (cancer) cells as possible.
What type of leukocyte recognizes body cells with abnormal membranes?
cell membrane
What disease is characterized by the unrestrained growth of abnormal cells in or on tissues of the body?
carcinoma
What is a disease characterized by the unrestrained growth of abnormal cells on or in tissues of the body?
carcinoma
What does cancer cell kill?
Cancer cells do not directly attack other cells in the body, but they clog things up because they continue to reproduce without limit, growing tumors in various places where they will block or get in the way of normal body functions.
What do white blood cells attack in the body?
They attack germs and microorganisms they deem may be harmful to the body.
