A member asked:
If a foreign cancer cell is injected in another person. which part of the immune system will work to kill it immediately as it is foreign?

Both humoral and cellular immune functions are active. If the donor of the tumor cells and recipient are ABO Blood Group incompatible, antibodies will kill the cells almost immediately.
