    Glossary CD8+ T cells

    specialized immune cells that destroy infected or cancerous cells

    CD8+ T cells, also known as cytotoxic T cells or killer T cells, are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in the immune system. They are responsible for identifying and destroying infected or cancerous cells by recognizing specific antigens presented on the surface of these cells.
