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 does the t cells and b cells do?
B cells stand for Bursa of Fabricus and T cells stand for T-lyphocytes.
How does your body benefit when a white blood cell kills a cell that has been infected by a virus?
Your body benefits when a white blood cell kills a cell that has been infected by a virus because the cells that was infected is no longer able to infect other cells with the bacteria. If the cell is not killed the virus in the cell will infect other cells. this may cause diseases that can be life threatening.
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
How are the roles of b an t cells similar and different?
B and T cells are both lymphocytes and appear the same at maturity. Their job is to fight infection. Each cell is particular to a specific antigen. This means that the cell will proliferate when successfully fighting its specific antigen.
Does HIV attack the white blood cells and red blood cell?
For starters, you be get jaundice.... yellow looking skin and possibly whites of your eyes.. You will be very lethargic, loss of appetite. If memory serves correct, your urine will get dark too.
What is the difference between a b cell and a t cell?
B cells mark the virus or paracite as unknown the killer t cells attack and destroy the virus.
What is the difference between a b cell and a killer t cell?
B cells mark the virus or paracite as unknown the killer t cells attack and destroy the virus.
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".
White blood cells engulfing disease causing bacteria?
There are 2 types of white blood cells. They are called B cells and T cells. B cells put a "mark" on viruses. Then, T cells "kill" the viruses. BUT, if the B cells haven't "seen" the virus before. It will just "keep it's eyes open" (they don't really have eyes). If the same virus comes again, the B cell will remember and summon the T cells. Then, the T cells attack. Finally, it is game over for the virus.
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 does the t cells and b cells do?
B cells stand for Bursa of Fabricus and T cells stand for T-lyphocytes.
How is a hiv virus different from a cold virus?
HIV attacks helper T cells that are trying to fight infection, rather than attacking healthy body cells like a cold virus does. HIV attacks lymphocytes directly.
What do T cells do What do b cells do?
t cells are killer cells b cells are antibodies
How do the immune system responds to a pathogen that the person has been vaccinated against?
vaccines contain either live or killed antigen .live vaccines contain attenuated (weakened)viruses which do not have the ability to cause disease.when the vaccine is injected the body produces anti-bodies against it .next time when the virus enters by that time the body has enough anti-bodies to fight the disease causing virus successfully.
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.
What the diffrernce between t cells and b cells?
its the t and the b
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
