Feedback:
Lymphokines, a type of cytokine, attract cells when they detect antigens and direct B-cell lymphocytes to multiply and mature. Cytotoxic T cells bind to invading cells, destroy the targeted invader by altering their cellular membrane and intracellular environment, and stimulate the release of chemicals called lymphokines. Suppressor T cells limit or turn off the immune response in the absence of continued antigenic stimulation. Regulator T cells are made of up of helper and suppressor cells.
