I don't know much about the immune system, but this totally blows me away. To know this is probably going on inside me every minute of the day is so cool, when I am in the car, when I am sick, when I am sleeping. Just so totally amazing. It's so wonderful.

@Thoggy78 really? maybe we just didnt learn that part yet!

@felixthemaster1 lots of cells including T helper cells AND macrophages release cytokines, which is a large molecule family. Wikipedia is your friend (or your biology teacher could have been also ^^)...

lol fail T HELPER CELLS release cyto kines

macrophages help that specific T helper cell to multiply

[octavoch]
