ABSTRACT
Adoptive immune cells can regulate and strengthen immune function of cancer patients,thus effectively inhibit tumor escaping.Cytokine induced killer cells (CIK),natural killer cells (NK),tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL),dendritic cells (DC),T cell receptor-modified T cells (TCR-T) and chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cells (CAR-T) eliminate tumor by killing tumor cells directly or stimulating the immune response against tumor cells through different mechanisms.
