Killer T-cells are a group of cells that can kill other cells. The type of cells that the killer T-cells can kill include cancerous cells, foreign cells, and infected cells. Doctors have devised a way to extract the killer T-cells from other blood cells and use them as a drug ...

Several receptors expressed on natural killer (NK) cells provide negative regulation of the NK cell’s cytotoxic activity. These inhibitory receptors carry immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motifs (ITIM) in their cytoplasmic tail that are responsi
A family of serine proteases that are found primarily in the cytoplasmic granules of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. They enter target cells through perforin pores, and cleave and activate intracellular caspases, resulting in target-cell apoptosis. Perforin A component of cytolytic gr...

These immune-system cells recognize a target, close in on it and bind tightly to it. Then they secrete onto its surface a lethal pore-forming protein that causes the target cell to leak and die

T cells andB cells. Cytotoxic T cells are specialized killers that attack virally infected cells or even cancerous cells. Some, such as the Natural Killer T cells, are able to identify and kill cancerous cells without the need to detect MHC receptors. Once they target one of these cells,...
NK cells have been transplanted to treat people with certain forms of cancer, but the potential impacts on a pregnancy are not yet known. "We don't know yet because we still need to investigate this in humans. We are working now on aninternational collaborationto try to work this out," ...
He added, "Our findings actually show how our body's immune system recognizes and attacks thesecancer cells. Killer cells are an emerging form of immunotherapy that shows huge promise. "They don't attackhealthy tissuein the way chemotherapy and other immunotherapies do, so are safer and have ...
