Cytotoxic T Cell
A type of immune cell that kills cancer cells, cells that are infected with viruses (or other pathogens), or cells that are damaged in other ways.
Cytokines
Small proteins released by cells that have a specific effect on the interactions and communications between cells, often playing a pivotal role in immune responses.
Memory B Cell
A Memory B Cell is a type of immune cell that remembers past infections, enabling the immune system to respond more quickly to repeated exposures.
