During the differentiation process of T cells, what are the two main types of cells that are produced?

The differentiation process of T cells primarily results in the production of two significant types of cells known as cytotoxic T cells and T helper cells. Cytotoxic T cells are responsible for identifying and destroying infected or cancerous cells, while T helper cells play a crucial role in assisting other cells of the immune system, including B cells and cytotoxic T cells, by releasing cytokines that enhance the immune response.

The production of T memory cells is also part of the immune response, but these cells derive from previously activated T cells, meaning they are not a primary product of the initial differentiation process. B memory cells and plasma cells are instead products of B cell differentiation, therefore not relevant to the question about T cells. Dendritic cells are antigen-presenting cells that are essential for activating T cells but are not a product of T cell differentiation. Thus, the correct differentiation products from T cells during this process are indeed cytotoxic T cells and T helper cells.
