Yes, Th2 cells activate B cells with mostly cytokines IL-4, IL-5, IL-10. Some B cells can activate without the help of Th2 cells, however, there are certain requirements for this such as repeated epitope.

What T-cell causes the B-cell lymphocyte to multiply in response to an infection?

Helper T-cells, also known as CD4+ T-cells, are responsible for activating B-cells in response to an infection. Helper T-cells recognize antigens presented by B-cells and release cytokines that stimulate B-cell proliferation and antibody production. This interaction is important for the adaptive immune response to effectively combat infections.


What are the key differences between th1 and th2 T cells and how do they impact the immune response?

Th1 T cells are involved in cell-mediated immunity and help fight intracellular pathogens, while Th2 T cells are involved in humoral immunity and help fight extracellular pathogens. The key difference lies in the type of immune response they trigger. Th1 cells promote inflammation and activate macrophages, while Th2 cells stimulate B cells to produce antibodies. This balance between Th1 and Th2 responses is crucial for an effective immune response against different types of pathogens.


Which White blood cells that activate plasma cells?

Helper T cells (Th2 cells) play a role in activating plasma cells, which are responsible for producing antibodies. Helper T cells release cytokines that stimulate B cells to differentiate into plasma cells and produce specific antibodies against pathogens.


What are Th1 and Th2?

Th1 and Th2 are part of your adaptive immunity. They are the effector T cells with specific function. Th1 acts directly on macrophages to make it able to defeat pathogens and Th1 activates B cells.


T cells and B cells activated only by what?

T cells are activated by antigens presented on the surface of antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells. B cells are activated primarily by recognizing antigens with their B cell receptor, although they may also require T cell help for full activation.


Which type of immune cells do most activated B-lymphocytes differentiate into?

Most activated B-lymphocytes differentiate into plasma cells, which are a type of immune cell that produces antibodies to help fight off infections.


When B-cells are activated they divide to form antibody-producing cells called?

Plasma cells.


Antibodies are produced by?

Activated B cells, called plasma cells, are responsible for producing antibodies


What does a B-cell become when activated?

When activated, a B-cell can differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibodies to fight off pathogens. Additionally, B-cells can also become memory B-cells that can quickly respond to future infections by the same pathogen.


How do B cells get activated in the immune response process?

B cells get activated in the immune response process when they encounter a specific antigen that matches their receptors. This triggers the B cell to divide and differentiate into plasma cells, which produce antibodies to target and neutralize the antigen.


Are Memory cells descendants of an activated B or T cell?

Yes


When germs enter the body what are antibodies produced by?

Antibodies are produced by B cells, which are a type of white blood cell. When germs enter the body, B cells are activated to produce specific antibodies that can help target and neutralize the invading germs.
