Distinct killer T cell peaks may signal immune response to a carcinogen
Evidence
The killer cells peaked sharply in all of the family members, particularly in two of the adolescent children. Colvin rarely saw such distinct peaks. He was not certain precisely what this meant. Perhaps their systems were reacting to a carcinogen, as Levin suspected. Whatever its significance, Colvin found it very unusual. — , Harr Jonathan - A Civil Action, 665
