T-cells are a kind of blood cells belonging to a group of white blood cells called lymphocytes. The white blood cell defends our body from infections. The T-cell plays a vital role of protecting the body from infection.
They are numerous types of T-cells in our body that act in various ways to identify and combat attacks and destroy infective agents. Alongside the white blood cells, the T-cells assist in protecting our immune system and keep us healthy. The T-cells are produced in the bone marrow, and later continue to mature and develop in an organ located in the chest known as thymus - therefore the name T-cells.
After the maturation process is complete, the T-cells are found in the blood and lymph nodes.
