Can all white blood cells attack any kind of pathogen?
No, the white blood cells are divided into many types of specialized cells. The Macrophages, Granulocytes, Natural Killer cells and Dendritic (Lagerhans) cells are part of the immuno response system's first line of defense: Macrophages kill any type of pathogens they recognize as not welcome, while the Neutrophile Granulocytes are experts in bacteria killing. Dendritic cells alert the adaptive immuno response system such as T-cells. Cytotoxic T-cells then kill tissue cells infected by pathogens, and so does Natural Killer cells (but does not touch the pathogens themselves). They do not have to be activated first, but are able to find infected/sick cells by themselves, which makes them effective cancer-killers. Also, by killing infected cells they prevent growth and proliferation of more pathogens in the body. Regulatory-T-cells (suppressor cells) and T-Helper cells does not kill pathogens themselves but regulate the rest of the white blood cells.
