Releases cytokines
A
T-Cells
B
B-Cells
C
Both
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These T cell subsets are characterised by their ability to produce certain cytokines. The Thl subset secrete interleukin (IL)-2, gamma-interferon (IFN-y) and lymphotoxin- (LT-, and the Th2 subset secrete IL-4, IL-S, IL-9, IL-10 and IL-13.

Detailed explanation-2: -B cells are capable of producing cytokines, but their cytokine production depends on their differentiation state and activation conditions. Hence, unlike T cells that can produce a large amount of cytokines upon activation, B cells require specific differentiation and activation conditions to produce cytokines.

Detailed explanation-3: -Finally CTL produce a number of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-, IFN- and IL-2 which interact with other immune cells, promoting a T helper cell response and further CTL differentiation (Nutt and Huntington, 2019; Cox et al., 2013).
