T cells are derived from the bone marrow but migrate to the thymus to mature (hence T cell). Subpopulations of T cells play different roles in the immune response and can be characterized by their surface antigens (see CD). Helper T cells recognize foreign antigens provided these are presented by cells (such as macrophages and B lymphocytes) bearing class II histocompatibility (MHC) proteins (see histocompatibility). The helper T cell carries T-cell receptors, which recognize the class II MHC proteins on the antigen-presenting cell. Interleukin-1 released by inducer cells stimulates helper T cells to release interleukin-2, which in turn triggers the release of other cytokines (see interleukin). Consequently there is a proliferation of B lymphocytes and the generation of effector T cells, i.e. cytotoxic T cells, delayed hypersensitivity T cells, and suppressor T cells.
