HOW

THE

WARRIOR

DEFENDS

THE

BODY

T-cells multiply and attack

Once activated, T-cells multiply in order to attack

and destroy the threat. Once the infected cells

are terminated, the germs die along with them.

T-cells can work in a similar way to kill cancer cells.

Alerting T-cells to a threat

In order for T-cells to be activated, the dendritic cell

recognizes and processes an enemy in a format that

the T-cell can recognize through its T-cell receptor.

End of the T-cell response

Once the threat to the body is gone some of those

T-cells convert to “memory T-cells” and stay in the

body. That way, the next time the body encounters

another threat, these memory T-cells are ready to

rapidly destroy it. This is how some vaccinations work.
