No, antibodies don´t attack T-cells, there is an autoimmune disease called antiphospholipd abtibody syndrome which is an autoimmune disorders occur if the body's immune system makes antibodies unable to recognize the foreign agent that might be harmful to cells and makes the T-cells attack and damage tissues or cells.

What are parts of the immune system and functions?

Helper T cells are required to activate both the B cells that produce antibodies, and the T cytotoxic cells that attack and destroy pathogenic cells


What are antibody markers?

Antibody act as markers by coating the outside of a bacteria or infected cell. The antibodies are produced by B cells and the purpose of antibodies is to let white blood cells and killer T cells know what to attack.

What kind of cell kills invading bacteria?

B-cells and T-cells can both kill the invading bacteria. B-cells:- create antibodies which kill the bacteria. T-cells:-attack them directly or call in white blood cells. The T-cells also remember the T-cells also remember the type of bacteria and then protect themselves from that bacteria invading again. I hope this answered your question, and helped you out. :)


Why are t-cells required in an immune attack?

T-cells are one of two white blood cells (lymphocytes) that are necessary to fight off an invader (virus, bacteria) that doesn't belong in the body. There are different types of T-cells: Helper T-cells, T-cytotoxic cells and T-suppressor cells. T-cells do not make antibodies. The other white cell necessary to fight of that invader are B cells which make antibodies. Both cells are needed for us to fight off the various invaders. It is a very complex but smoothly run "war room".


What does the t cells and b cells do?

B cells stand for Bursa of Fabricus and T cells stand for T-lyphocytes.


What structures allow the T cells to locate and destroy invaders?
