T-cells attack cancer cell. Illustration of T-cell (purple) attacking a cancer cell. The cancer cell is over-expressing surface proteins (red) to try to fool the T-cells into thinking it is friendly. These surface proteins bind to the T-cell receptors,causing inhibition of activity. Manufactured antibodies (green) are used to target these T-cell receptors,binding to but not activating them. The T-cells do not receive the inhibition signal from the cancer,and they are able to destroy the cancer cell | |
