| 2 | These cells secrete substances that dissolve the cell membrane of the target cells and destroy them by creating holes in it. | For different substances that enter, there are different B-lymphocytes which do the work of destroying. |
| 3 | Lymphokines, regulatory proteins, are released from activated lymphocytes. | Specific antibodies are produced to destroy a specific type of invading organism or toxin. |
