NK Cell Therapy [Nakamura Gastroenterology Clinic]
NK cells (natural killer cells), a type of lymphocyte, are immune cells that attack and destroy tumor cells and infected cells.
Their main functions include:
Destruction of tumor cells
Activation of killer T cells via helper T cells
Production of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), which activates dendritic cells and macrophages, thereby enhancing the presentation of cancer antigens to killer T cells
