Did you mean T-cell?

GlossaryT cells (T-cell)

specialized white blood cells crucial for immune response

T cells, also known as T lymphocytes, are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in the immune system. They help protect the body from infections and may also be involved in autoimmune conditions, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues. T cells can be further categorized into different types, such as helper T cells, which assist other immune cells, and cytotoxic T cells, which directly kill infected or cancerous cells.
