Answer:
T cells
Explanation:
- The adaptive immune system also known as the acquired immune system is a subtype of the immune system which is involved in generating specific responses against the foreign particle upon exposure and help eliminate it and prevent its growth.
- This adaptive immune response mediates its response in two broad ways:
- 1. Cell-mediated response
- 2. Humoral response
- The cell-mediated response of the adaptive immune system is mediated by the T cells.
- The T cells are of various types:
1. Tc (cytotoxic) cells - These are responsible for killing the virus-infected cells or cancer cells.
2. Th (t-helper) cells - they help tailor the immune response towards a specific antigen and also helps activate the B cells that are involved in the humoral immune response.
