Natural Killer Cells Could Be Key to
Anthrax Defense
Reference- http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/10/111027125237.htm
Summary- University of Texas Medical Branch researchers have found a way to fight against anthrax. The thing they found is known as an natural killer cells. They are part of the immune system. Natural killer cells also attack bacteria and anthrax According to the UTMB group.
Critique- They should do more tests to see if the natural killer cell doesn’t just kill bacteria and anthrax. It could be killing other stuff beside the bacteria in the body.
Impact- This would help to fight of other things that researchers do. The question is are they sure it will work. Most of the test they do are on mouse and mouse don’t have the same immune system as us and the affects can be very different compared to a mouse and a human.
