What is the difference between killer T-cells and natural killer cells? Which is cited in the USDA study using Carotenoid Complex?
In the Carotenoid Complex study conducted by researchers from the USDA, natural killer cells and lymphocyte proliferation (or T-cell proliferation) were the two measures used to gauge changes in subjects’ immune potential. Lymphocyte proliferation response is how quickly, and many, lympocytes (T-cells) are produced once an invader is detected. Think of it as an army responding to attack. The amount of soldiers you get to the point of attack is prolific response.
