Summary Introduction
To determine:
Whether the statement ‘the T-cells are the immune cells that “read” and “remember” the chemical message to identify the future invaders” is true or false.
Introduction:
In the multicellular organisms, the immune system is known as the defense system as it protects the body systems against the attacks of the foreign invaders, which want to harm the body systems. Hence, it plays the main role in providing protection against the many diseases.
