The Large Granular Lymphocytes That are Capable of Destroying Tumour

Question

The large granular lymphocytes that are capable of destroying tumour cells are called
A)natural killer cells.
B)macrophages.
C)basophils.
D)monocytes.
E)pattern recognition cells.

Accepted Answer

Natural killer cells are a type of large granular lymphocytes that are capable of recognizing and destroying tumour cells without prior sensitization. They play a crucial role in the body's natural immune response against cancer cells. Macrophages, basophils, and monocytes are other types of immune cells but they do not have the same specific function as natural killer cells. Pattern recognition cells are not a known type of immune cells.
