One of the super powers of CD4+ T cells is the secretion of IL-2.

What is IL-2 and what makes it so special? IL stands for interleukin and IL-2 and it promotes CD4+ T cell differentiation to get effector cells and memory cells. IL-2 is also secreted by helper cells to promote cell killing activity. This means it helps natural killer cells and cytotoxic T cells to do what needs to be done ☠
IL-2 is so powerful that it is also administered as a drug (Aldesleukin/Proleukin) for the treatment of advanced kidney cancer, renal cell carcinoma and metastatic melanoma. Go IL-2 💪

Here is my version of the CD8+ T cell that also goes by the name of cytotoxic T cell (CTL) 🤺. When we mention vaccines 💉we often talk about antibodies but let's not forget that vaccines also induce CTLs. These awesome cells are pretty bad ass and are responsible for killing compromised cells that are growing virus or bacteria inside of them.

CTLs kill their target cells by releasing proteins called perforins. These proteins form pores in the membrane of the target cell. The pores allow a protein called granzyme to enter the target cell. Granzymes induce apoptosis in target cells. Apoptosis = programmed cell death ☠️

I am so grateful and thankful to have gotten my 2nd dose yesterday!! Yey science 💪💉🩸🔬🧫
My B cells are pumping out antibodies that will make sure to neutralize the threat before it can cause any damage 😈

Here is my most recent version of an erythrocyte also called red blood cell 🩸🩸🩸 These guys carry oxygen to all our body tissues and the red color comes from the hemoglobin protein inside these cells. In mammals they have the shape of a biconcave disk 🍩to achieve a high surface-area-to-volume ratio. Last fun fact: mature erythrocytes don't have a nucleus!
