Understanding Immunotherapy and T-cell Therapy

What is the primary function of T-cells in the human body?

• To produce antibodies

• To transport oxygen

• To identify and attack unwanted cells

• To store energy

What makes the MR1 molecule significant in cancer research?

• It is a universal marker on cancer cells

• It varies from person to person

• It is only found in lung cancer

• It is a type of white blood cell

Which technology was used by the Cardiff University team to aid their research?

• Chemotherapy

• Radiation therapy

• CRISPR-Cas9

• Gene therapy

What is a major challenge before MR1-targeting T-cells can be used in humans?

• Reducing the cost of production

• Ensuring they only attack cancer cells

• Increasing the speed of treatment

• Finding a universal donor

What is the current stage of research on MR1-targeting T-cells?

• Approved for clinical use

• Still in early research stages

• Ready for human trials

• Abandoned due to safety concerns
