T-cells are adaptive immune systems, is the specific to usually the pathogen that you're being infected with. Find the... Into the T-cell. The antigen on the cancer cell. And once it comes across that particular antigen, then what a cytotoxic T-cell does is just kills the cell. So I think this is going to be a huge shift in disease burden for the future.
