Which type of lymphocyte attacks cancer cells that appear in normal tissue?
Natural killer (NK) cells are a type of lymphocyte that can recognize and attack cancer cells that appear in normal tissues. NK cells have the ability to detect and destroy these abnormal cells without the need for prior exposure or sensitization.
What does the t cells and b cells do?
T cells are part of the immune system and help identify and destroy infected or abnormal cells in the body. B cells produce antibodies that help to neutralize pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses, that have entered the body. Both T cells and B cells play crucial roles in the body's immune response.
What do killer t cells do?
Killer T cells are a type of white blood cell that can recognize and destroy virus-infected cells, cancer cells, and other abnormal cells in the body. They play a crucial role in the immune system's response to infections and diseases. Killer T cells are able to identify specific antigens on target cells and induce their death.
How do T cells activate B cells in the immune response?
T cells activate B cells in the immune response by releasing signaling molecules called cytokines. These cytokines stimulate the B cells to multiply and produce antibodies that target and destroy pathogens. This process helps the immune system to effectively fight off infections.
One difference between a cancer cell and a normal cell is that?
a. cancer cells divide uncontrollably. b. normal cells cannot make copies of DNA. c. cancer cells cannot make copies of DNA. d. normal cells divide uncontrollably. (A) cancer cells divide uncontrollably
What cells produce antibodies and destroy pathogens?
B cells are the cells that produce antibodies, which are proteins that can neutralize pathogens. Natural killer (NK) cells are a type of lymphocyte that can directly destroy infected cells and cancer cells.
What does radiotherapy cure?
Cancer; it uses radioactivity to destroy the cancerous cells.
Treatments that use a combination of chemicals to destroy cancer cells?
Chemotherapy
What is one use of gamma rays?
One use of gamma rays is in cancer treatment, where they can be directed at cancer cells to destroy them.
A form of treatment in which drugs destroy cancer cells is called?
The form of treatment in which drugs are used to destroy cancer cells is called chemotherapy. Chemotherapy works by targeting rapidly dividing cells, which include cancer cells. It can be administered orally or intravenously, and it may be used alone or in combination with other cancer treatments such as surgery, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy, depending on the type and stage of cancer.
How do cancer cells behave inside the human body?
Cancer cells divide and grow uncontrollably, forming malignant tumors. Although cancer cells can be quite common in a person they are only malignant when the other cells (particularly natural killer cells) fail to recognize and/or destroy them.
What is virotherapy and how does it work?
Virotherapy is a type of treatment that uses viruses to target and kill cancer cells. The viruses are modified to selectively infect and destroy cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. Once inside the cancer cells, the viruses replicate and cause the cells to burst, ultimately leading to the death of the cancer cells.
How do scientist use isotopes in treating cancer?
Radiations (alpha, beta, gamma, neutrons) emitted by radioisotopes can destroy cancer cells.
What are designer viruses used for?
this is used destroy cancer cells and leavethe good one unharmed
Do t cells or b cells release lymphotoxin?
Killer T cells (CTLs) use lymphotoxin to destroy antigens.
How is chemotherapy made?
Chemotherapy refers to the use of cytotoxic drugs in cancer treatment.'Chemo' means medicine or 'drug''therapy' means 'treatment'. Chemotherapeutic agents or drugs are 'magic bullets' that destroy the fast-dividing cancer cells. However these drugs are unable to differentiate between the normal cells and the cancer cells and they destroy the former too, in their war against cancer. This leads to certain side effects.
How does your immune system fight hpv?
The body releases white blood cells to destroy the cancer cells, if cancer hasn't affected with the immune system first. Somtimes cancer can be rid of before the person even knew they had it.
