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".

What does the thalamus?
it produces the hormones involved in the development of white blood cells called Tcells which form part of the immune system.
When was Immune Attack created?
Immune Attack was created on 2008-05-23.
What is produced by T cells?
T cells produce cytokines, which are signaling molecules that regulate the immune response. They also produce cytotoxic molecules, such as perforin and granzymes, that help kill infected or abnormal cells. Additionally, T cells can produce antibodies to help in immune responses.
What type of cell do HIV attack in the immune system?
HIV attacks Acquired Immune system.
Why are helper t-cells required in an immune attack?
Helper T-cells play a crucial role in coordinating the immune response by activating other immune cells such as B-cells and cytotoxic T-cells. They help regulate the immune system's response to foreign invaders, ensuring an effective and targeted attack on pathogens. Without helper T-cells, the immune system would not be able to mount a strong and specific defense against infections.
What can attack the immune system disabling its defenses?
viruses, diseases
