one of a large group of low-molecular-weight proteins secreted by various cell types and involved in cell-to-cell communication, coordinating antibody and T cell immune interactions, and amplifying immune reactivity. Cytokines include colony-stimulating factors, interferons, interleukins, and lymphokines, which are secreted by lymphocytes.
1 7 - Once activated, the Helper T cell starts to divide and produce special proteins to signal other immune cells. 2  The activated Helper T cell will in turn activate other T cells to attack the specific antigen 3  ().
