T cell response

T cells are a vital part of the immune system, acting like specialized soldiers that protect the body from infections and diseases. When a pathogen, like a virus, enters the body, T cells recognize it and respond in two main ways: some directly attack infected cells to destroy them, while others help coordinate the overall immune response by signaling other immune cells. This targeted response is crucial for eliminating the threat and also helps the body remember the pathogen, providing protection against future infections.
