    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Oncology

    Context:

    • The theory of immune surveillance proposes the body's defense against tumors.
    • Historically, macrophages and T cells were recognized as key anti-tumor effector cells.

    Purpose:

    • To examine the features and properties of newly discovered natural killer cells.
    • To explore the cooperative potential of various immune cells in anti-neoplastic defense.

    Summary:

    • Natural killer (NK) cells represent a significant addition to the known effectors of anti-tumor immunity.
    • This research investigates the characteristics of NK cells, macrophages, and T cells.
    • The study questions the collaborative mechanisms among these immune cells against cancer.

    Impact:
