Tc cells, also known as cytotoxic T-cells or CD8+ T-cells, are a type of T-cell that play a crucial role in the adaptive immune response against viral infections and cancer.
Adaptive immunity is a type of immune response that is highly specific to a particular pathogen. It is characterized by the ability to recognize and respond to specific antigens that are associated with a particular pathogen. The adaptive immune response is also known as acquired immunity, as it is not present at birth, but rather acquired over time through exposure to different pathogens.
