Autologous Cellular Immunotherapy is a form of treatment that uses the cells of our immune system to help fight diseases such as cancer, sometimes these cells are modified in vitro to improve their capacity, the types of adaptive cellular immunotherapy include therapy of antigen receptor T cells and tumor infiltrating lymphocyte therapy (LIT). Our immune system is able to recognize and eliminate cells that have been infected, as well as those that have become cancerous, in the case of immunotherapy against cancer, the objective is to change the tumor balance to achieve the identification and elimination of cancer cells , immune cells known as killer T cells (TKC) are particularly powerful against cancer, due to their ability to bind to markers known as antigens on the surface of cancer cells. A crucial point for the development of an antitumor immune response depends on a correct complex cellular interaction which involves DC dendritic cells, CD8 + T cells, CD4 + T cells and NK cells. The interaction of DC-NK cells is of great importance in antitumor immune responses. Image of cell interaction in response to a tumor process.
