T cells are part of the adaptive immunity. There are two major types of T cells: CD4+ T helper cells and CD8+ T cytotoxic cells. T helper cells primarily function in humoral immunity whereas T cytotoxic cells are important in cell mediated immunity. T helper cells produce cytokines to activate other immune system components like macrophages, B cells, etc. whereas T cytotoxic cells primarily kill infected cells.
T cells are a type of lymphocyte in the body that are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Basically this means they are not antibodies but are responsible for activation of phagocytes to fight off diseases.
a t cell is a type of white blood cell. it matures in the thymus, and has the ability to recognize specific peptides (or foreign substances).
T cells destroy pathogens.

acquired immuniy is when human body is exposed for the first time to an invader and learn how to fight back. B cells, T cells, Antibodies play a role in acquired immuniy
The T cells help protect the body against viruses.
It depends on what role is being referred to: The stomach's role is to digest food. It fulfills this role by breaking down foods into smaller particles. The role of the lungs is to provide the body with oxygen. They perform this role by taking in oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide. The role of the immune system is to fight off invaders. T-Cells and B-Cells are produced in order to achieve this. Other body parts perform other duties needed to keep the body healthy.
The hormone from the thymus gland does play an important role in the body's immune mechanis. The thymus gland produces T-cells as its main function.
The white blood cell that is formed in the thymus and attacks cancer cells is called a "T lymphocyte" or "T cell." T lymphocytes are a type of immune cell that plays a crucial role in the body's immune response against cancer and various other pathogens. They are part of the adaptive immune system, which recognizes and targets specific antigens, including cancer cells. T cells undergo maturation in the thymus, which is a specialized organ located behind the breastbone. During their maturation process, T cells develop the ability to recognize foreign antigens presented by other cells in the body, including cancer cells. Once mature, T cells can circulate throughout the body to identify and eliminate cells that display abnormal or cancer-associated antigens.

One of the primary pathogens that destroy T-cells in the body is the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It can leads lead to AIDS.

Lymphocytes are a type of small white blood cell present in the human immune system. These small cells play a very large and important role in fighting diseases in the human body. There are basically two types of lymphocyte cells: B-cells and T-cells. B-cells are responsible for creating antibodies that attack bacteria, infectious microorganisms, and other foreign matter. T-cells have the job of fighting the bodies OWN cells that have been taken over by viruses or cancerous cells (malignancy). The absence of lymphocytes in the human immune system allow our bodies to become more susceptible to infections and disease and weakens immune response.

Hello! I need to find out about T Cells...There purpose ( I'm sure they fight cancer) I need to know if there is a book relating to the purpose of T cells in the human body with photos of the T cells and information..... My husband has just been diagnosed with prostate cancer and I am researcing everything possible using the bodys own ability to eject this uninvited guest residing in my husbands body........ I did have this information a few years ago, but, have lost it.....Please can you help me.... Janet Ayres.....
Killer, or Cytotoxic, T cells are responsible for killing cells that are infected, damaged or cancerous.
