Several key immune cells are typically analyzed in immune profiling studies:
- T Cells: Including CD4+ helper T cells and CD8+ cytotoxic T cells, which play crucial roles in adaptive immunity. - B Cells: Responsible for antibody production. - Macrophages: Involved in phagocytosis and antigen presentation. - Dendritic Cells: Key antigen-presenting cells that bridge innate and adaptive immunity. - Natural Killer (NK) Cells: Important for the destruction of virally infected cells and tumors.
