One method to target the immune system of a patient to a cancer cell that it is nonresponsive to is the use of _______.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The use of CARs (Chimeric Antigen Receptors) can be used to target the immune system of a patient to a specific cancer cell that is nonresponsive to traditional treatments. CARs are genetically engineered receptors that can recognize specific antigens on cancer cells and activate the immune system to attack those cells. This approach has shown promising results in treating certain types of cancer. WGS (Whole Genome Sequencing), SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms), and VNTRs (Variable Number Tandem Repeats) are genetic techniques that can be used to study cancer and its interactions with the immune system, but they are not directly involved in targeting the immune system towards cancer cells.
