Immune effector cells are biological cells capable of generating an immune response. Examples of immune effector cells include natural killer (NK) cells, T cells, and B cells.
Macrophages can mediate phagocytosis of cancer cells and cytotoxic tumor killing, and engage in effective bidirectional interactions with components of the innate and adaptive immune system....
