T cells, along with B cells and others, comprise the adaptive arm of the immune system, the body's second line of defense which quickly attacks and «remembers» specific pathogens.

As with innate immunity, the adaptive immune system — the T cells and antibodies produced by B cells that target specific molecules on invading cells — contributes to pathology or may also fight against it.

If parasitic infestation occurs sufficiently early in development, it can produce minor deviations from symmetry — hence the adaptive advantage of using asymmetry as a marker to avoid potential mates with poor health, weak genes or a challenged immune system.

Until now, most researchers have focused on one of two strategies: attacking tumors with antibodies, which activate the innate immune system, or stimulating T cells, which form the backbone of the adaptive immune system.

These cells, along with dendritic cells, recognize the incoming undigested food particles, toxic agents, and bacterial components as foreign invaders, and present them to cells of the adaptive immune system called T and B lymphocytes, leading to clonal expansion (proliferation or multiplication of specific subsets of T and B cells) and recruitment of more pro-inflammatory immune cells to the gut through a process called leukocyte homing.
