T lymphocytes and cancer cell, SEM C001 / 1679

T lymphocytes and cancer cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of T lymphocyte cells (green) attached to a cancer cell. T lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that recognise a specific site (antigen) on the surface of cancer cells or pathogens and bind to it. Some T lymphocytes then signal for other immune system cells to eliminate the cell. The genetic changes that cause a cell to become cancerous lead to the presentation of tumour antigens on the cells surface. Magnification: x2300 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "T lymphocytes and cancer cell" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of cellular interactions. In this colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we witness T lymphocyte cells (green) firmly attached to a cancer cell, showcasing the remarkable power of our immune system in combating malignancy. T lymphocytes, also known as T cells, are a vital component of our white blood cells. They possess the extraordinary ability to recognize specific antigens on the surface of cancerous cells or pathogens and bind to them. Once bound, these T lymphocytes signal other immune system cells to eliminate the targeted cell effectively. The genetic alterations that trigger cellular transformation into cancer result in tumor antigens being presented on their surfaces. This image magnified at x2300 when printed at 10 centimeters wide allows us to appreciate the minute details and complexity involved in this process. With its fusion of medicine, immunology, oncology, cytology, and cell biology disciplines captured through SEM technology by Steve Gschmeissner from Science Photo Library; this photograph serves as an invaluable resource for researchers and medical professionals alike. It sheds light on how our immune response works against malignant growths while providing insights into potential therapeutic approaches aimed at harnessing T lymphocyte's potent anti-cancer properties.
