Cells of the Adaptive Immune System

So, let?s have a look at the cells of the adaptive immune response. Helper T-cells, as their name suggests, help other cells in the immune system. They?re particularly important in helping activate macrophages, activate cytotoxic T-cells and activate B-cells. Regulatory T-cells suppress other cells of the immune response. They have the opposite activity if you like, of the helper T-cell. Helper T-cells help, regulatory T-cells suppress immune responses. Cytotoxic T-cells are the adaptive response equivalent of the natural killer cell of the innate response, in that they kill infected cells. And B-cells and their fully differentiated progeny, the plasma cell, produce antibody molecules....
