Summary Introduction
To review:
The following:Â
Differentiation between the two subtypes of helper T lymphocyte.
The process of their production.
Introduction:
One of the important components of the adaptive immune system are the T cells (also known as T lymphocytes where T stands for thymic). In organizing an immune response to pathogens, they play essential roles. T cells play an important role in the protection of intracellular pathogens, and in the immunity of extracellular pathogens by providing aid in the response of the antibody.
