<span>-TH2 - B-cell activation
-TC - destroy infected or cancerous body cells
-TH17 - pro-inflammatory
-Treg - anti-inflammatory
-TH1 - activate cytotoxic T cells

</span>

T cells are so called because they are predominantly produced in the thymus. They recognise  foreign particles (antigen) by a surface expressed, highly variable, T cell receptor (TCR). There are two major types of T cells: the helper T cell and the cytotoxic T cell. As the names suggest helper T cells ‘help’ other cells of the immune system, whilst cytotoxic T cells kill virally infected cells and tumours.

Unlike antibody, the TCR cannot bind antigen directly.  Instead it needs to have broken-down peptides of the antigen ‘presented’ to it by an antigen presenting cell (APC). The molecules on the APC that present the antigen are called major histocompatibility complexes (MHC).  There are two types of MHC: MHC class I and MHC class II.  MHC class I presents to cytotoxic T cells; MHC class II presents to helper T cells.

In normal cells, glucose is broken down aerobically and fed into the citric acid cycle to produce, among other things, lots of A
Zielflug [23.3K]

Explanation:

Its was discovered back in the 1920s, by Dr. Ralph DeBerardinis and Dr. Joshua Rabinowitz that cancer cells prefer not to rely on the citric acid cycle like healthy cells do. Instead, they turn most of their pyruvate (SALT) into lactate, which then releases. Because cancer cells consume so much glucose, they end up producing a lot of lactate.

What is considered the best source of energy for a predatory animal?
andrew11 [14]
The sun--solar energy--is at the heart of the cycle of life, with all the sustenance relationships referred to as the food web. The sun is the ultimate source of energy for animals, but its energy must be harnessed by plants before it can be used by animals. Animals get energy by processing complex foods.
