Killer T-cells: These cells destroy abnormal body cells such as virus-infected cells and cancer cells.

As stated previously, they are stimulated by Helper T-cells. These cells release a protein called perforin. These proteins form pores in the membranes of the cells they attack. Water and ions from the surroundings flow into the cells and burst them. This is called lysis.

Helper T-cells: They recognise antigens on the surface of other white blood cells, especiallymacrophages. The Helper T-cells enlarge, multiply, and form a group of Helper T-cells. This group will produce chemicals including interferon and also stimulate the formation of Bcells. They also stimulate the reproduction of Killer T-cells.
