The immune system can defeat invading disease-causing germs (or pathogens), such
as bacteria, viruses, parasites as well as cancer cells.
But, an underactive immune system allows for chronic infection and cancers, and an
overactive immune system leads to allergies or autoimmune diseases.

Cancer cells escape from the anti-cancer activity of immune cells by the binding of PD-L1 to the
PD-1 receptor.
PD-1 or PD-L1 antibodies block the binding of PD-L1 on cancer cells to PD-1 receptors on immune
cells, which allows immune cells to induce the immune response against cancer cells.

related to cancer among
immune cells
Natural killer cells, also known as NK cells or large granular lymphocytes, are a type of
cytotoxic lymphocyte critical to the innate immune system. The main function of the
NK cell is to attack and kill cancer cells and virus infected cells.

Dendritic Cells are antigen presenting cells of the immune system.
Dendritic Cell Vaccination

immune system to recognize cancer cells.
Dendritic Cell Collection
The monocytes, which are the
basis of dendritic cells, are taken
from the patient's blood.
Remember Cancer Antigens
Remember the target of cancer
and use it as a command tower.
Vaccine Administration
Dendritic cell vaccines are
administered to the patient.
Accurately Attack Cancer Tissue
Attacks cancer by making
lymphocytes to recognize cancer
targets.
Dendritic cells are taken from the
monocyte layer of the patient's
blood.
It teaches dendritic cells the target
of cancer (cancer antigen), and
incubates them as the commander
of the immune system.
Dendritic cell vaccines are
administered to the lymph nodes of
the patient.
Dendritic cells, which act
as command tower, make

accurately.

T cells are so called because they are predominantly produced in the thymus even
though they originate from bone marrow progenitors. T cells comprise approx. 60%
to 80% of circulating lymphocytes, and T cells circulate the body until they encounter

17. The unique immunomodulatory properties of Stem cells make them an invaluable cell type for the
repair of tissue/ organ damage caused by chronic inflammation or autoimmune disorders
The regenerative and immunomodulatory potential of stem cells opened up a new
paradigm of treatment for autoimmune diseases.
In severe autoimmune diseases, the use of autologous stem cells can control overactive
immune systems to relieve symptoms and regenerate damaged organs, reducing the
use of immunosuppressants used in the past.

18. The number of immune cells decreases as you get older and moreover the number
of immune cells in cancer patients decreases by one-third than normal. And also In
the lower NK activity group, the cancer incidence rate increased by 1.7 times higher
in men and 2 times higher in women compared to the high NK activity group. And
when, chronic inflammation inhibitor, IL-10, or the immunosuppressive ability of Th2
is decreased, the incidence rate of cancer is getting high. Therefore, it is important to
bank immune cells when you are young and healthy.
