They are produced by the division of monocytes. Foam cells are formed when the body sends macrophages to the location of a fatty deposit on the blood vessel walls. The macrophage surrounds the fatty material in an attempt to destroy it. The cell becomes filled with lipids. The lipids surrounded by the macrophage give it a âfoamyâ appearance.
Dendritic cells are also proving to be major adjuvants in cancer vaccine research. Natural killer cells (NK cells) are a type of cytotoxic T-cell that are not specific for one cancer cell type, as are the tumor specific cells produced in response to dendritic cells.riginally NK cells were thought to simply attack cancer cells when they find them and not require activation by finding a specific cancer cell marker, hence the name natural killer cells. We now know that they are activated by lack of a cell marker that identifies the cell as âselfâ that is normal to the body.
