Detailed explanation-1: -Without them, we can’t survive. T cells protect us from infection. In our daily lives, we’re constantly exposed to pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses and fungi. Without T lymphocytes, also called T cells, every exposure could be life-threatening.
Detailed explanation-2: -Owing to their ability to control immune activity, they have been described as the “hormones” of the immune system. When a microorganism lacks the inherent ability to activate complement or bind to phagocytes, the body provides antibodies as flexible adaptor molecules.
Detailed explanation-3: -They can act as “killer cells”, attacking cells which have been infected with a virus or another kind of pathogen, or they can act as “helper cells” by supporting B cells to produce antibodies.
Detailed explanation-4: -T cells are a part of the immune system that focuses on specific foreign particles. Rather than generically attack any antigens, T cells circulate until they encounter their specific antigen. As such, T cells play a critical part in immunity to foreign substances.
