B cells stand for Bursa of Fabricus and T cells stand for T-lyphocytes.
The T in T-cells stands for the thymus gland. Lymphocytes produced in the bone marrow are either become B-cells or they are matured in the thymus gland and are "trained" to be either Natural Killer T-cells, CD4 (Helper T-cells), CD8 (Suppressor T-cells).
White blood cells that directly destroy virus-infected and cancerous cells are called?
CD2 is a medical term for cell adhesion molecule which can be found on the surface of certain cells of the body namely T cells and natural killer cells. It also has a stimulatory function on these cells.
T cells or T lymphocytes belong to a group of White blood cells known as Lymphocytes, and play a central role in cell-meaditated immunity . They can be distinguished from other lymphocyte types, suach as B cells and natural killer cells (NK cells) by the presence of a special receptor on their cell surface called T cell receptors (TCR). The abbreviation T, in T cell, stands for thymus, since this is the principal organ responsible for the T cell's maturation. Several different subsets of T cells have been discovered, each with a distinct function.
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.
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
Killer, or Cytotoxic, T cells are responsible for killing cells that are infected, damaged or cancerous.
T-cells B-cells NK cells (natural killer)
t cells are killer cells b cells are antibodies
Helper T cells activate killer T cells.
killer t cells
Helper (CD4+) T Cells
Killer T Cells
B cells stand for Bursa of Fabricus and T cells stand for T-lyphocytes.
you would want killer t cells to be present because, they kill cells that are infected by viruses, and bacterium.
