Helper T Cells
Which type of T cell recognizes both intra and extracellular microbes?
CD4+ T cell
What is the primary role of Treg (Regulatory T) cells in the immune system?
Suppressing excessive immune responses
Which type of immune reactions consist of multiple steps involving antigen recognition, T cell proliferation, differentiation of Naïve T cells, migration of effector cells to the site of infection, and effector function of T cells at the site of infection?
