As I do research in immunology, I would love to read these peer-reviewed articles. I'm particularly interested in the statement of cabbage contents that overcome chemoresistance (does this function similarly to T cells coexpressing CD161, CD117 and IL-18Ra - Turtle et al, Immunology 2009)and kill "bad immune T cells". Could you please provide references?
Also, please define "bad immune T cells" - to what specific T cell subset are you referring are you referring? Cytotoxic CD8+ T cells that are directly cytotoxic and utilized to fight cancer in the setting of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (my clinical field), Th1, Th2 or Th17 CD4+ T cells, regulatory T cells? Some other T cell subset?
