Whats the simularites and differences in cytokines in plant and animal cells

T lymphocytes have a special receptor called CD8 that they use to attach to a cell that has been infected by a virus. Once they recognize the infected cell, T lymphocytes are stimulated to divide and proliferate  and they release  potent substances  known as cytokines with the help of T-helper cells.An example of a cytokine is gamma interferon.

The cytokines limit viral reproduction  while also activating  other immune system cells such as macrophages and  phagocytes that can destroy an infected cell.
