Immunological surveillance involves which of the following cells?
A
NK cells
B
Memory cells
C
Cytotoxic T cells
D
Suppressor T cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Innate immune surveillance Keratinocytes and LANGERHANS CELLS in the epidermis, as well as dermal mast cells, dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages, provide an early warning system by releasing stored and inducible ANTIMICROBIAL PEPTIDES, chemotactic proteins and cytokines15, 16, 17, 18, 19 (Fig. 2).

Detailed explanation-2: -Natural killer (NK) cells play a pivotal role in cancer immunotherapy due to their innate ability to detect and kill tumorigenic cells. The decision to kill is determined by the expression of a myriad of activating and inhibitory receptors on the NK cell surface.

Detailed explanation-3: -Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes of the innate immune system that participate in early defense against foreign cells and autologous cells undergoing various forms of stress, such as microbial infection or tumour transformation [1, 2].
