      One example among others: the cells that produce mucus (in your mouth, nose, intestines…) are very useful to help the immune system!

      There are loads of really important cells to help the immune system! Some of those are known as eipthelial cells. These are cells which line our ‘barriers’ – the gut, the lung, the skin, and the reproductive tract. Epithelial cells are sometime the first cells which communicate to our immune cells to tell them that something is wrong (by producing chemical signals calls cytokines).
