T Cell (Cancer)

One type of white blood cell that attacks virus-infected cells, foreign cells, and cancer cells. T cells also produce a number of substances that regulate the immune response.

T Cell (HIV and AIDs)

See also CD4 cell. T cells are white blood cells made in the thymus gland in the body. White blood cells participate in the immune system response. There are three very different types of T cells: helper, killer and suppressor. These cells are responsible for organizing certain immune responses, "policing" the immune system to find infected cells, stimulating antibodies and cell- killing T cells and then shutting down an immune response if it has effectively cleared out the invading organisms. An HIV+ person's immune system does not function properly because HIV takes over the helper CD4 cells to make more HIV, and the killer T cells (T8 or CD8 cells) continue to try to shut the immune system.
