Cancer cells often have reduced
amounts of surface proteins, including
class I MHC antigens. Which of the following cells can exploit this property to kill cancer cells?
Natural Killer cells (NK cells) are a class of
lymphocytes which act against malignant cells
and virus infected cells,


• Natural killer cells belong to innate immunity.
◦ NK cells lack antigen specific receptors and
are referred to as Large granular
lymphocytes. (LGL)
◦ NK cells are identified by CD16 and CD56 cell
surface receptors
.
NK cell activity is augmented by interferons
and upon activation, they release perforins
and granzymes and express Fas L


The common feature of both cytotoxic T-cells
and NK cells is effectivity against virus-infected
cells.


The difference is however that cytotoxic T-cell
is MHC- I restricted while NK cell is NK cells
adapt accordingly to the presence or absence
of MHC class I molecules.


Changes in steady state MHC expression can
lead to gain or loss of responsiveness in NK
cells, but the inflammatory conditions
associated with infections act to sustain a
higher state of responsiveness, enabling initially
hyporesponsive NK cells to provide protective
activity, and to do so without being subject to
inhibition by self MHC I molecule

Look for Channels Online

You guessed it – the internet is your friend. A good place to start looking for Telegram channels is Reddit. This is one of the biggest sites on the internet, with millions of communities, including those from Telegram.Then, you can search one of the many dedicated websites for Telegram channel searching. One of them is telegram-group.com. This website has many categories and a really simple user interface. Another great site is telegram channels.me. It has even more channels than the previous one, and an even better user experience.These are just some of the many available websites. You can look them up online if you’re not satisfied with these two. All of these sites list only public channels. If you want to join a private channel, you’ll have to ask one of its members to invite you.

NEWS: Telegram supports Facetime video calls NOW!

Secure video calling is in high demand. As an alternative to Zoom, many people are using end-to-end encrypted apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime or Signal to speak to friends and family face-to-face since coronavirus lockdowns started to take place across the world. There’s another option—secure communications app Telegram just added video calling to its feature set, available on both iOS and Android. The new feature is also super secure—like Signal and WhatsApp and unlike Zoom (yet), video calls will be end-to-end encrypted.
