Many people may have heard of NK Cell Therapy, but there are still some who are still wondering how NK Cells are beneficial to our body. Today the doctor will answer questions about how NK Cells are beneficial to our health.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The origin of the word "immunity"<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Immunity comes from Latin.<\/strong> The word Immunis<\/strong> which means except In the past when Louis Pasteur (Louis Pasteur) discovered the rabies vaccine. At that time, no one understood the mechanism of how it could be prevented. Until in the 1930s, the first antibody was discovered by Alvin Gabus, later called humeral immunity.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immunity is divided into 2 types.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Immunity that has been present since birth (Innate immunity)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is immune to Not specific, not memorized, but there will be work on every foreign thing that enters our body.<\/strong> In the physical aspect, such as the skin, intestinal wall, various mucosa, including saliva, gastric juice, or various secretions. Secretion of inflammatory substances that include pain, swelling, redness, heat, and certain types of immune cells, such as Macrophage, Neutrophil<\/strong> and N<\/strong>K Cell<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. immunity that comes later<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is an immune system that has specificity must be remembered There is learning. <\/strong>for white blood cells The main role for this type of immunity is Lymphocyte (lymphocyte) by working must remember and learn. To respond quickly to infection or foreign objects When we meet next time <\/strong>Our body has applied knowledge in the matter of vaccines. which is like an injection To stimulate white blood cells to become soldiers, to remember and learn to work. And then respond more efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For immunity that has been present since birth, which is considered the first line of defense. We will get to know one important one, which is NK Cell.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NK Cells are created from the same type of bone marrow that creates lymphocytes, but their shape and function are different. NK Cells are large and have no specificity in their work.<\/strong> There is no protein coating on the cell surface. The work of NK Cell focuses on killing foreign cells, especially cancer cells. <\/strong>or a lump that has abnormal growth Including virus cells hidden in our body. Because normally there are 2,000 to 5,000 million NK Cells in our body. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For NK Cells, in addition to acting as an immune system, they are the first line of defense in killing cancer cells. When the body has recovered, NK Cells continue their duty of protection.<\/strong> Because they will look for foreign cells and destroy them immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the working mechanism of NK Cell, there are 4 types.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. secretion of inflammatory substances<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. destruction of foreign objects or direct foreign cells<\/strong> By secreting inflammatory substances into<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Stimulating foreign cells to die<\/strong> Also known as apoptosis.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Directly killing foreign cells<\/strong> (ADCC; Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Although the work is not specific, NK Cell itself will have a method for separating normal cells of the body out of foreign cells<\/strong>by looking for proteins on the cell surface If that protein is displayed on foreign cells, NK Cells will take action. This mechanism makes NK Cell destroys only foreign cells. Then separate the normal cells of our body.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Having more NK Cells is better. Is it true?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    \n

    Many people probably suspect that Having a high amount of NK Cells is better, right?<\/strong> But in fact, there are many studies that have found that It is the efficiency of NK Cells that indicates their quality in killing foreign substances in the body.<\/strong> Therefore, in addition to the general physical examination in terms of blood cells Checking the quantity and efficiency of NK Cell or NK Activity<\/strong> It will help us evaluate the quality of our body's immune system.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    For NK Cells, they are divided into 2 types.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Dim and Bright types, with the Dim type having a quantity<\/strong> 90% of NK Cell. The way it works is that it works in a Natural Cytotoxi way, which is to kill cancer cells or foreign substances.Bright type<\/strong> It will work to help increase the secretion of inflammatory substances. Or that various chemicals to have a reaction Responds well to the immune system<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Checking the efficiency of NK Cell or NK Activity <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    There are many types of examinations. By checking in a way that is similar to Gold Standard<\/strong> or standard examination is Bringing cancer cells Come dyed with calcein fluorescent dye.<\/strong> Then it was raised with NK cells to see their performance. Killing cancer cells using Natural Cytotoxicity <\/strong>This is a Dim type efficiency test that is over 90 percent for NK Cells in our body. Another type of test is Main examination of substances Interferon<\/strong> (Interferon), which is a Bright type of NK Cell. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    For people who want to measure quantity levels and the quality of NK Cell work is recommended to be divided into 3 groups<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Groups that need screening <\/strong>which is a group of patients with cancer or normal people because their immune level Low NK Cell means that their efficiency in working and killing foreign cells is reduced.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Check to assess your risk of developing cancer.<\/strong> Having a level of NK Activity or work performance NK that is lower will have a clear relationship with the chance of developing cancer.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. NK Activity and NK Quantity Testing <\/strong>Cell to follow up on treatment results Be it immunotherapy to treat cancer or infectious diseases. or following up on response to chemotherapy.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      so Checking the efficiency of NK Cells will depend on the doctor who will help evaluate them.<\/strong> What kind of examination to choose? in order to choose treatment or health care protection<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
