How do T-Cells fight infection?
Helper T cells activate killer T cells.
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".
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 are three types of cells the help fight disease?
Stem cells, T Helper cells, and Lymphocytes all help fight diseases.
What system does the thymus work in?
It works in the lympatic system. And it basically teaches your T-cells (which are the cells that help to fight infection) what infections to fight and how to fight them.
What is the function of the Killer cells?
The thymus produces both helper t and killer t cells in the fight against infection. The killer t cells eliminate harmful cells and organic materials from the bloodstream
What do t-cells fight?

What is the breakdown of the bodys ability to fight infection becouse of a lack of T-cells results in a disease callled?
Immunodeficiency is the inability of a body to fight infection because of the lack of the T-cells.
How do you B and T cells fight the virus?
T- and B-cells are highly specialised defender cells - different groups of cells are tailored to different germs. When your body is infected with a particular germ, only the T- and B-cells that recognise it will respond. These selected cells then quickly multiply, creating an army of identical cells to fight the infection. Special types of T- and B-cells 'remember' the invader, making you immune to a second attack.
What two responses do helper T cells activate to fight viruses?
They find and study pathogens then sound the ALERT! They also tell B cells and Killer T cells there is an invasion.
Protects the body destroys bacteria and tumor cells?
T cells are made in the red bone marrow but specialize into t cells outside the marrow in the thymus, hence the T in Tcells. two types of t cells are cytotoxic effector cells and helper t cells. think of cytotoxic t cells as the drunk guy in the bar that wants to fight everyone (and is a good fighter by the way) and the helper t cells are the friends who show him who to fight and provides him with the weapons to fight. CTC can attach to and destroy cells carrying antigens Helper T cells 1. present antigen to CE cells and plasma B cells to activate them into action and 2. produe powerful immune protein called cytokins which can stimulate the lymphocyte cell disvision.
Type of cell the immune system uses to fight infections is?
Antibodies, produced by white blood cells (Or T-cells).
