T-cells develop in the thymus and include CD4+ T-helper cells, CD8+ cytotoxic T-cells, and regulatory T-cells. T-cells are activated by antigens and signaling molecules and then clonally expand. Activated T-cells have various functions - T-helper cells activate B-cells and mediate cytokine responses; cytotoxic T-cells kill infected or abnormal cells; regulatory T-cells suppress immune responses. T-cells secrete cytokines that regulate immune responses and are involved in B-cell activation, cell-mediated immunity, and autoimmune diseases when dysregulated. T-cells play a crucial role in connecting humoral and cell-mediated immunity.
