Detailed explanation-1: -Armed helper T cells that recognize the peptide:MHC complex then deliver activating signals to the B cell. Thus, protein antigens binding to B cells both provide a specific signal to the B cell by cross-linking its antigen receptors and allow the B cell to attract antigenspecific T-cell help.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -In the case of B cells, once a helper T cell has been activated by an antigen, it becomes capable of activating a B cell that has already encountered the same antigen. Cytokines secreted by helper T cells can also interact with B cells and provide additional stimulation.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are two main types of T-cells: Helper T-cells stimulate B-cells to make antibodies and help killer cells develop. Killer T-cells or cytotoxic T-cells directly kill cells that have already been infected by a foreign invader.
