Anatomy and Physiology I
Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) is an immune response mechanism in which antibodies bound to target cells, such as cancer cells or virus-infected cells, trigger the destruction of those cells by effector cells, such as natural killer (NK) cells or macrophages. This process is a crucial component of the immune system's defense against certain diseases.
congrats on reading the definition of Antibody-Dependent Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity (ADCC). now let's actually learn it.
