(NK cells are best known for killing virally infected cells, and detecting and controlling early signs of cancer)
(CD8+ T-cell or killer T cell) is a T lymphocyte (a type of white blood cell) that kills cancer cells, cells that are infected (particularly with viruses), or cells that are damaged in other ways)
(CD4+ cells, are a type of T cell that play an important role in the immune system, particularly in the adaptive immune system. They help the activity of other immune cells by releasing T cell cytokines. These cells help suppress or regulate immune responses.)
(Regulatory T (Treg) cells are found at elevated densities in many human cancers and are thought to be a major barrier to the generation of robust antitumor T cell responses)
