There are three types of T cells:

* Th cells: T helper cells which bind to foreign antigens on an antigen presenting cell (APC) and secrete cytokines, hereby initiating an immune system response. * Tc cells: T cytotoxic cells, which bind to the infected cell and secretes the cytotoxins perforin and granulysin and thus lysing the cell, killing it. * Ts cells: T suppressor cells, which shutdown the immunity system after the infection has been eliminated from the body. B cells, upon detecting the presence of cytokines, divide and differentiate into two types of cells:

* Plasma cells; which secrete antibodies * Memory cells; which persist in the body in case there is a recurrent infection with the same disease, then a faster and more efficient immune response would occur.
