T helper cells are activated in the immune response process when they encounter antigens presented by antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells. This interaction triggers the T helper cells to proliferate and differentiate into specific subsets that help coordinate and regulate the immune response.

Antigens incite the immune response by being processed and presented by antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells, to T cells. Once presented, the antigens can activate specific immune responses, leading to the generation of memory cells and effector cells that target the antigen. Antigens that are not processed, reduced, or combined with other proteins may not effectively stimulate the immune system.
Helper T cells in the immune response are activated by antigens presented by antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells. This activation process helps coordinate and regulate the immune response against pathogens.
Dendritic cells
Antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells, engulf antigens and present fragments of them on their cell surfaces. These antigens are then recognized by T cells, particularly CD4+ helper T cells or CD8+ cytotoxic T cells, which play a key role in initiating an immune response against the antigen.
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.
Dendritic cells activate T cells in the immune response by presenting antigens to the T cells. This interaction triggers the T cells to become activated and initiate an immune response against the specific antigen.
CD4 T cells are activated in the immune response when they recognize antigens presented by antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells. This recognition triggers the CD4 T cells to proliferate and differentiate into effector T cells, which help coordinate and regulate the immune response.
Presented by APCs as MHC-exogenous peptide complex
dendritic cells. These cells play a crucial role in activating T lymphocytes and initiating an immune response against foreign antigens by presenting antigens to the T cell receptors (TCR) on the surface of T lymphocytes. This interaction leads to the activation and proliferation of specific T cell populations to combat the invading pathogen.
Those cells are called antigen-presenting cells (APCs). They include dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells. Their role is to ingest foreign antigens, process them, and present them to T cells to initiate an immune response.
