| Description: B lymphocytes recognize soluble antigens and develop into antibody-secreting cells. Helper T lymphocytes recognize antigens on the surfaces of Antigen-presenting Cells (APCs) and secrete cytokines, which stimulate different mechanisms of immunity and inflammation. Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (CTLs) recognize antigens on infected cells and kill these cells. Regulatory T cells suppress and prevent immune response, e.g. to self antigens. Natural Killer (NK) cells use receptors with more limited diversity than T or B cell antigen receptors to recognize and kill their targets, such as infected cells.
