Q

cell-mediated immunity

A

t cells, cytotoxic t cells (CD8+) attach directly to antigens and kill them and secrete cytokines which aid other cells in antigen destruction, helper t cells (CD4+) assist b cells in making antibodies and stimulate t cells to attack antigens, suppressor t cells inhibit b and t cells and prevent them from attacking bodies own good cells
