Immune Cell Therapy

Immune cell therapy is a form of treatment that uses the body’s immune system, specifically immune cells, to target and destroy harmful cells, such as cancer cells, or to treat infections and other diseases. It is a type of immunotherapy, which aims to enhance or manipulate the immune system to fight diseases more effectively.

There are different types of immune cell therapies, including:

1.CAR-T Cell Therapy (Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy): This involves modifying a patient’s T-cells (a type of immune cell) to express a receptor that can target cancer cells more effectively. These modified cells are then infused back into the patient’s body to attack the cancer.

2.T-Cell Therapy: T-cells are taken from the patient or a donor, expanded in the lab, and sometimes modified to make them more potent before being reinfused into the patient to fight disease.

3.Dendritic Cell Therapy: Dendritic cells are a type of immune cell that helps initiate an immune response. In this therapy, dendritic cells are extracted, exposed to the disease or cancer cells in the lab to stimulate an immune response, and then reintroduced into the body to fight the disease.

4.Natural Killer (NK) Cell Therapy: Natural killer cells are a type of immune cell that can directly attack infected or cancerous cells. In NK cell therapy, these cells are expanded and activated in the lab before being reintroduced into the patient.
