The T in T-cells stands for the thymus gland. Lymphocytes produced in the bone marrow are either become B-cells or they are matured in the thymus gland and are "trained" to be either Natural Killer T-cells, CD4 (Helper T-cells), CD8 (Suppressor T-cells).

What does the t cells and b cells do?
B cells stand for Bursa of Fabricus and T cells stand for T-lyphocytes.
Are cytotoxic T cells a type of T cell clone?
Yes, cytotoxic T-cells are a subset of T-cells that in contrast to helpter T-cells express CD8.
May destroy infected cells select one a cytotoxic t cells b helper t cells c b cells d allergens e phagocytic cells?
T-cells will do this
What is the role of T cells in a human body?
T cells are part of the adaptive immunity. There are two major types of T cells: CD4+ T helper cells and CD8+ T cytotoxic cells. T helper cells primarily function in humoral immunity whereas T cytotoxic cells are important in cell mediated immunity. T helper cells produce cytokines to activate other immune system components like macrophages, B cells, etc. whereas T cytotoxic cells primarily kill infected cells.
Proteins that stimulate the growth of T cells?
what are small proteins produced by T-cells
What does the t cells and b cells do?
B cells stand for Bursa of Fabricus and T cells stand for T-lyphocytes.
What do T cells do What do b cells do?
t cells are killer cells b cells are antibodies
How do T-Cells fight infection?
Helper T cells activate killer T cells.
What Dampens activity of T and B cells?
Regulatory T-cells
Are cytotoxic T cells a type of T cell clone?
Yes, cytotoxic T-cells are a subset of T-cells that in contrast to helpter T-cells express CD8.
Which is only active during a specific immune responsible?
T cells apex or B cells
How do killer cells work?
Killer t cells are activated by helper t cells. The Helper t cells are alerted by the macrophage that has engulfed the virus. It grows antigens to alert the helper t cells. The killer t cells are like white blood cells, there purpose is to fight pathogens.
What is the function of a t-cells?
T cells destroy pathogens.
What is the function of T-cells?
this is my question what is the function of t-cells?
Where do B cells and T cells migrate?
B-cells and T-cells are both produced in the bone marrow. B-cells stay in the bone marrow but T-cells migrate to the thymus
What is the difference between T-cells and killer T-cells?
Cytotoxic T-cells are just a specialized subset of T-cells that express CD8 (a co-stimulatory molecule). In general, there are two types of T-cells, helper T-cells that express CD4 and cytotoxic T-cells that express CD8. As the name implies, cytotoxic T-cells have the role of killing any infected cells.
What are the approximate percentages of T cells and B cells?
Approximately 67% T cells and 33% B cells.
