T cells and natural killer (NK)cells are largely involved in scanning the cells in the body for tumor antigens,a function known as:
A)agglutination.
B)vaccination.
C)complement.
D)immune surveillance.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

T cells and NK cells are involved in immune surveillance, which refers to their function of scanning the body for abnormal cells, such as those that may be cancerous or infected with viruses. They do this by recognizing and responding to specific antigens on the surfaces of these cells, and then triggering an immune response to destroy them. Therefore, the best choice is D, immune surveillance. The other options (A, agglutination; B, vaccination; and C, complement) are not correct as they do not accurately describe this function of T cells and NK cells.
