Question:

Which cells are involved in the fight against both viruses and tumors?

Options:

T cells

B cells

Natural killer cells

Leucocytes

Correct Answer:

Natural killer cells

Explanation:

There are several kinds of white blood cells or leucocytes within the immune system, including T cells, B cells and natural killer cells. T cells destroy invaders, and T-helper cells increase immunological activity. It is these T-helper cells that are attacked by the Human Immuno Deficiency Virus (HIV), the virus causing Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). B cells produce antibodies. Natural killer cells are involved in the fight against both viruses and tumours.
