Fill in the blаnks in this pаrаgraph. (0.5 pоint each) [1] is an emerging technоlоgy that uses the body’s immune system to attack cancer. There are many tissues and organs involved in the immune system including [2] , as an example. The key immune cells are the [3], which can be divided into three main categories granulocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes. The immune system protects us from invading microbes and pathogens, and more importantly tries to prevent [4], by helping heal damaged cells and tissues. Your immune system can be broken down into two parts, [5] immunity, which is the first and second line of defense and responds quickly, and [6] immunity, which is the third line of defense and is a slower more specific defense mechanism. B cells and T cells are part of [7] immunity, which relies on [8] produced by B cells in response to antigens on the surface of invading pathogens, to bind to and prevent the normal function of the pathogenic cell. When an antigen is first detected [9] become activated, causing the proliferation of cytotoxic T cells and B cells, which go on to produce antibodies. [10] is a type of immunotherapy in which a patient’s T cells are specifically altered to more specifically target cancer cells.
