IMMUNE RESPONSE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
These immune system cells stimulate actions of other cells. What are they?
A
Cytotoxic T cells
B
Memory B cells
C
Helper T cells
D
B plasma cells
Explanation: 

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: -Helper T-cells are a type of immune cell. When they sense an infection, they activate other immune cells to fight it. They may activate cytotoxic T-cells or they may activate B-cells, which produce antibodies. Your helper T-cells are one the most important types of cells involved in your adaptive immune response.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main role of the TH1 cells is to stimulate cell-mediated responses (those involving cytotoxic T cells and macrophages), while TH2 cells primarily assist in stimulating B cells to make antibodies.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
