T cells Reacting to changing circumstances - Immune Research Highlights - RIKEN RESEARCH

An analysis of a subset of immune cells reveals how these cells rally defenses against infection while keeping potentially harmful inflammatory reactions in check
T cells represent a significant component of the ‘muscle’ in the immune system, promoting aggressive action against perceived threats or restraining fellow immune cells from launching an unhealthy autoimmune response.  Dendritic cells help to manage these cells, presenting bits of antigen to T cells in a context that allows them to react appropriately.
