Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As IL-2 is mainly produced by activated T cells and, in particular, by activated CD4+ T-helper cells, at least part of their ‘helper’ function for CD8+ T cells was attributed to IL-2 (Keene & Forman, 1982).
Detailed explanation-2: -Helper T cells stimulate the B cell through the binding of CD40L on the T cell to CD40 on the B cell, through interaction of other TNF-TNF-receptor family ligand pairs, and by the directed release of cytokines.
