- There are two types of T-cells that operate within our immune systems: these are the effector T-cells (cancer killers) and regulatory T-cells (cancer enablers). We made this video for Cancer Research UK to describe exciting new research on an antibody (CD25nib) that signals drugs to kill regulatory T-cells, whilst ignoring effector T-cells. This pioneering approach essentially harnesses the immune system to kill cancer cells, through releasing the brakes on effector T-cells.
