Scanning Electron Micrograph of a Human T Cell

Caption

This is a scanning electron micrograph of a human T lymphocyte (also called a T cell) from the immune system of a healthy donor. Immunotherapy fights cancer by supercharging the immune system's natural defenses (include T-cells) or contributing additional immune elements that can help the body kill cancer cells.
