immune cells that target and destroy infected or cancerous cells
CD8+ NKG2D+ T cells are a type of immune cell that plays a crucial role in the body's defense against infections and cancer. These cells have two important markers: CD8, which helps them identify and kill infected or cancerous cells, and NKG2D, which enhances their ability to recognize and destroy stressed or abnormal cells. This combination makes them particularly effective in targeting and eliminating harmful cells in the body.
