How are the various types of T cells different? Explain how each assists the body's immune system
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Cytotoxic T cells directly kill virus-infected cells and tumor cells. Helper T cells secrete proteins that promote inflammation by calling for the microphages to the site, stimulating B cells, and activating the cytotoxic T cells. Regulatory T cells help lower the immune response once the infection is under control. Memory T cells "remember" an antigen and therefore can produce new fighting cells rapidly.
