Detailed explanation-1: -Helper T cells are arguably the most important cells in adaptive immunity, as they are required for almost all adaptive immune responses. They not only help activate B cells to secrete antibodies and macrophages to destroy ingested microbes, but they also help activate cytotoxic T cells to kill infected target cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -How do helper T-cells work with cytotoxic T-cells? The cytokines released by helper T-cells help activate cytotoxic T-cells. Cytotoxic T-cells send out molecules to fight the infection. Cytotoxic T-Cells can also recognize cells that are infected and directly kill them to prevent further infection.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are two main types of lymphocytes: B cells and T cells. The B cells produce antibodies that are used to attack invading bacteria, viruses, and toxins. The T cells destroy the body’s own cells that have themselves been taken over by viruses or become cancerous.
Detailed explanation-4: -Helper T cells secrete cytokines that help B cells differentiate into plasma cells. These cells also help to activate cytotoxic T cells and macrophages.
