Summary Introduction

To describe:

The way in which helper T-lymphocytes play a pivotal role in a healthy, normal functioning of immune system.

Concept introduction:

The T-lymphocytes are of two types, helper T-lymphocytes and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes which are activated during the effector's response at the site of infection. The T- helper lymphocytes release cytokines like IL-2 and IL-4.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Describe how helper T-lymphocytes play a pivotal role in a healthy, normally functioning immune system.
If an individual failed to develop a thymus because of a genetic defect, what would happen to the immune responses mediated by antibodies and those mediated by cytotoxic T cells? Hint: Think how helper T cells and B cells are functionally related,
Define the key components that make up the innate immune system (e.g., macrophages, neutrophils, natural killer cells, and complement system), and describe how these elements protect against infection.
