Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
T-lymphocytes do which of the following:
A
Cause inflammation
B
Activate macrophages
C
Regulate the immune response
D
All of These
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -T lymphocytes (T cells, named after the thymus-dependent development) are major components of the adaptive immune system. It is directly involved in destroying infected host cells, producing cytokines, activating other immune cells and in regulating immune response.

Detailed explanation-2: -T lymphocytes are part of the immune system and develop from stem cells in the bone marrow. They help protect the body from infection and may help fight cancer. Also called T cell and thymocyte.

Detailed explanation-3: -T cells (also called T lymphocytes) are major components of the adaptive immune system. Their roles include directly killing infected host cells, activating other immune cells, producing cytokines and regulating the immune response.

Detailed explanation-4: -1) T cells (T lymphocytes) are crucial in the recognition of antigens presented by self-MHC. The T cell progenitors undergo proliferation and differentiation in the thymus and form a mature T cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -T-lymphocytes or T-cells, do not themselves produce antibodies. They help B-cells in the process of recognition of pathogen proteins. This, in turn, helps B-cells produce antibodies that can recognize and bind to specific proteins produced by the infectious agent.
