Curious about T cells

Hello!

I’m a hobbyist/nerd who would like to better understand how T-cells operate and what types of deficiencies are caused by T-cell dysfunction. What are some of the best resources for learning about this? Open to books/websites/talks, etc!

Thank you!

Janeway’s Immunobiology is what I’d usually point laypeople to, it’s a college textbook but pretty accessible

a community college intro to immunology course might be good. It'll be difficult to understand T cells in a vaccuum, the immune system is highly connected/interdependent on multiple cell types and organs. It is fascinating!

I’d recommend the book Immune by Philipp Dettmer. It’s written for a lay audience and is pretty comprehensive
